cream cheese
by: Debbi

To my basic buttercream recipe I add 4 to 8 oz of cream cheese. It makes the icing creamy without being too sweet or tasting like cheese. Hope this helps.

GOOD ?

I THINK MAYBE A CREAM FROSTING IS YOUR BEST BET FOR NOT A SWEET FROSTING. I KNOW THEY ARE ALL VERY SWEET. IF YOU CAN FIND OUT THE BAKERY CREAM THEY USE, IT WILL BE THE ONE YOU WANT. HOPE THAT HELPS YOU. GOOD LUCK, NANCY OF CA
