This is a smooth, rich cream cheese icing with a little more air in it than usual given the addition of well-whipped whipping cream. Full of vanilla and creamy sweetness.

This looks so amazing Faith. A beautiful distraction while at work!


It's always so hard to maked icing that's edible and not too sweet but this is PERFECT!


I have one similar to this -- yum!


Was browsing the site for a nice and fluffy frosting for a chocolate cake I made last night. I tried this one and I must say it is to die for. Not so sweet you can't eat it. It's light, fluffy, airy and just the right amount of sweetness. Thank you, thank you, thank you.


Drooling here, going to make this one tomorrow, weeeeeeee!


Curious -- Will this give me an icing that's firm enough to decorate with as well?
I'm searching for one to use on my son's wedding cake.


Nyhahhahah, i have been using this recipe for all my cupcakes for my son's Pre-K parties, they lick the icing off first, lol....


Sounds almost to good to be true. Thanks for the post.
