I thought this frosting was okay. I like my frosting thick and frosting like, and this was like cream cheese flavored whipped cream. Mine didnt turn out runny at all. I think the key to it not being runny is beating the whipped cream not just until soft peaks form, but until it is thick thick. Then most importantly use POWDERED sugar (i used 1 cup). I think the submitter must have ment powdered not reg white sugar. But that made all the difference in the world. Mine was light, and airy like cool whip but thicker than cool whip. It would be fantastic on a strawberry cake. I made it for a banana cake and thought it was just ok.

I AM IN LOVE! I love cream cheese frosting and when I made this I could not believe how light and fluffy this was. I used it to pare with Banana Cake IV from this site (this cake is heavy so I wanted the icing to be light and this was the perfect pare for me). Thank you, Thank you for this wonderful recipe I can't wait to find something else to put it on.

Planned to use this frosting to top recipe from this site - Mary Ann's Carrot Cake - however, I'm passing on it. I was disappointed on both flavor and consistency. Whipping cream almost turned to butter; my fault for not watching more closely. Other ingred's beat smooth at sight, but were runny; also, grainy from white sugar. Add'g whipped cream didn't change consistency; it was still runny. Frosting was way too sweet for my taste buds. If I make this again I will substitute white sugar with Apriva, as "A" is more not so grainy. Some recipes work for me, some don't - trying a new one is what it's all about to become an expert "chef" in my kitchen. Thanks, Tom, for the challenge.

I think that this recipe and I were meant to be! My daughter & I made cupcakes, then I realized we were out of powdered sugar for frosting. So, I checked AR of course to see what I could find. I was so excited when I found this recipe. I *just happened* to have 1-1/2 cups of whipping cream left over from making ice cream. I only buy whipping cream 2 or 3 times a year and I just happened to have the EXACT amount needed for this recipe! Best of all is that this recipe is awesome. It could have easily iced 4 dozen cupcakes. I only made 2 dozen and it took all the will power I have to not eat the rest of it right out of the bowl. I LOVE this recipe. I will be making it from now on. This recipe and I were meant to be!

I loved this icing! We used it on my sons birthday cupcakes and it was just right. It was a bit soft but piped fine. We weren't really looking for any great detail anyway - just cupcake coverage. Unlike most icings this one was light - delicate - delicious!! Not too sweet with a velvety mouth feel that reminded me of whipped cream. I usually scrape most of the frosting off my cakes and cupcakes but I ate every bit of this icing! If you want something that will not overpower your dessert with a sickly sweet frosting this is it!

I, like other reviewers found this frosting a bit on the runny side (I don't actually think it was meant to be firm in the first place) but let me just say that I loooove cream cheese frosting and this one is in my top two on taste!

The frosting tasted great but wasn't as firm as I had in mind. Perhaps if I had whipped the cream until it was firmer it would have held up better. I added lemon zest and lemon juice to it which gave it a nice zing.

5 stars for flavour! For firm frosting that you can pipe, use Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese which comes in a brick. Other cream cheese will be too soft resulting in runny frosting.

Not quite as firm as I would have liked. I spread it onto the too much chocolate cake, and it kind of ran down the sides. Maybe more sugar next time.

This is the best frosting I've ever made and one of the best I've ever had! Some time in the fridge makes it the perfect piping consistency. This got rave reviews at the last birthday party I baked for.

I made this frosting for an apple cake I made for a party dessert. A couple modifications: instead of sugar, I used 1/2 C Agave Nectar and I only had 1 C heavy whipping cream on hand, so that is all I used, but it turned out fantastic nonetheless. One of the guests, who is unusually hard to please when I try to make healthy desserts was absolutely in love with this frosting!

I decided to make this frosting because I had whipping cream that needed to be used...I'm glad I did! Made exactly as written except little less whipping cream... an awesome frosting for a "last minute decision" 4 layer red velvet cake which was courtesy of Sunny ... Thanks Tom for a great frosting and Sunny for a terrific cake recipe!

This frosting had a great consistency, but was VERY cheesy. In the future, I will add more powdered sugar and probably a bit of vanilla. :) That is just my preference, however, and it is great for frosting and decorating! :)

This recipe is delicious. I recently made it for a red velvet cake for a coworker's birthday, and it has now been requested for all future birthday cakes. I just made it again today, and it came out perfect again. I didn't make any changes, but I did chill the mixing bowl for a few minutes before whipping the cream.
