This was very creamy! I halved the recipe and used it on pumpkin cake III. I only used 1/4 cup of minced walnuts (kids not a fan of nuts in their desserts) and a small amount of almond extract (didn't have vanilla). Read More

This is the best Cream Cheese frosting I have found yet! Everyone loves this. I only use the nuts occasionally depending on what I am making but I usually just make according to directions and omit the nuts. It's perfect! Read More

I doubled this recipe the other day and used it on a 9" round carrot cake. It was FANTASTIC!!! When the frosting is doubled you have the perfect amount for an amply frosted 2-layer cake with even a little left over to enjoy yourself!;) Read More
