What is a good cake to put Cream Cheese frosting on? If you have a link, that would help also. Thanks?!
With that in mind, I would say to try a cinnamon cake. Did a search and here's what I found for you:

Banana Cinnamon cake, you could try substituting the frosty with cream cheese frosting.

This doesn't use cream cheese as a frosting but as a filling:

I also think cream cheese frosting is better than vanilla because it's not just a simple sugar taste. It has more personality. So you might try getting an assortment of cupcakes somewhere and trying it on those, to see which flavors you think mix well with it.
Answers: Cream Cheese frosting makes me think of cinnamon buns (like from Cinnabun). The frosting by itself is addicting, but mixed with the cinnamon bun it's just pure pleasure.

I've always liked it on spice cake or gingerbread; it's also good on a lemon cake.
Carrot cake is great with cream cheese frosting, and red velvet cake is AWESOME with it, too. Here's a recipe for the red velvet cake: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Classic-Red...
And here's a recipe for carrot cake: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mary-Annes-...
For the red velvet cake, you can actually buy it ready-to-make at most grocery stores. Good luck!
carrot cake
carrot cake is great, and I like it on banana bread (which can be made more "cakey." Anything dark and/or spicy (e.g. with cinammon, ginger etc.) will work.
A carrot cake, a red velvet cake, a devil's food cake, a lemon pound cake.
Carrot cake with Cream Cheese frosting.
Cake:
1 cup unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for cake pan
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups grated carrot
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons for cake pan
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup hot water
10 ounces finely chopped fresh pineapple, or tinned (well drained)
Icing:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 pound cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups icing sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Special equipment: an electric mixer and 2 (9-inch) cake pans
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In an electric mixer cream together 1 cup butter, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in the grated carrot. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix 1/2 of the flour into the butter mixture, then add 1/2 the water, mix well. Mix in the remaining flour and water. Fold in the pineapple.
Grease 2 (9-inch) cake pans with the remaining butter and dust with the remaining flour.
Divide the batter evenly between the 2 cake pans. Bake for 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove from the pan and cool completely.
For the icing: Cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.Whip in the icing sugar and lemon juice.
Slice both cooled cakes into 2 layers. Spread the icing in between the layers as you stack them up. Ice the top and sides of the cake to finish.
This is my favorite, but also Cream Cheese frosting is good on Chockolate cake, yellow cake, red velvet cake, any flavor cake.
carrot cake and red velvet are two traditional cakes that get this type of frosting
I like to put it on devils food cake or a red velvet cake.
Either a spice cake or carrot cake.
