Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted by Teri in Feb, 2010 | In: Desserts, Recipes

A little sweet goes a long way and I am not one for too much frosting on my cakes, but I absolutely love a scrumptious cream cheese frosting.  This simplistic recipe will top any pumpkin bars, zucchini or carrot cake that will have your guests asking for a second helping.
