Personally, I am not a fan of cream cheese but I made a cake from someone who requested cream cheese frosting. The rave reviews went on for days. Everyone who tasted the cake loved it and thought the icing was WONDERFUL!!! Great receipe for cream cheese lovers! Oh, and I didn't make any changes to the recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly. It does hold up well with cupcake decorating, but you MUST refrigerate the mixture once mixed up. This makes for better consistency when using decorating tips.

This was a great jumping-off point for the best cream cheese frosting I have ever had. I (kind of) doubled the recipe -- I used 2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese, 3/4 cup butter, doubled the vanilla and used 5 cups of powdered sugar. I mixed everything thoroughly, then chilled the frosting for a couple hours before whipping it again to make it fluffy. This frosted a 2-layer cake with about a cup+ of leftover frosting (after my husband and I tried several fingerfuls).

This was very yummy. It does do better once you let the icing sit in the fridge a bit. I only used 3 cups of sugar and it was fine.

This was a very easy recipe for my first time making my own frosting. It is a little sweet, but I liked it better the next day. I will make this recipe again.

I used this recipe for a cake I took to work. Everyone loved it. I also found that it freezes well.

This was way too sweet for our tastes and I even used an 8 oz pkg of cream cheese and only 4 cups of confectioners' sugar. Will keep looking for a great cream cheese frosting.

I'm disappointed with this. The reviews rave so I thought this would be exactly what I was looking for to frost my cake, but it tastes just like canned frosting from the store. It is good nice and creamy, sweet and tasty. But really its too sweet and I only added 4 cups of sugar to it. It tastes EXACTLY like the store bought stuff. I could have saved myself some time and effort.

The perfect frosting for decorating sugar cookies, cupcakes, you name it! I don't think it tastes too sweet, or ANYTHING like store-bought frosting at all. Nor does anyone who has had it. The only thing I can think of is that maybe people were not using full fat cream cheese, as that would certainly effect the flavor.
