Only one problem. Vanilla extract amount is left out. Researched another recipe and found 2tsp is normal. Might want to add that to the recipe Read More

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
