What is Icing?
Cream cheese frosting is used as an icing for cakes, cupcakes and other baked desserts. It is a key component in carrot cake and can be used interchangeably in a variety of sweet recipes. This off-white colored frosting is made by blending together cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Additional flavorings can be added such as vanilla. The texture is smooth and creamy with a rich, sweet flavor. The fat from the butter adds depth and richness. This frosting is prepared cold and must remain refrigerated.
