Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 - 8 ounce (227 grams) cream cheese, room temperature

1 - 8 ounce (227 grams) tub of Mascarpone cheese, room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup (115 grams) confectioners' (icing or powdered) sugar, sifted

1 1/2 (360 ml) cups cold heavy whipping cream (double cream) (35-40% butterfat)



Cream Cheese Frosting: In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners sugar and beat until smooth. Using the whisk attachment, gradually add the heavy cream and whip until the frosting is thick enough to spread. Add more sugar or cream as needed to get the right consistency.

Cream cheese icing is the only way to go! It's really good. You'll like it. It doesn't actually taste like you're eating cream cheese on top of a cake. The flavor is a mixture between cream cheese and vanilla icing.

Yeah usually it is cream cheese fronting. I myself don't like the frosting but i know many people that do.

I prefer vanilla buttercream

red velvet

Plain white Cream Cheese Icing.

Cream Cheese is the best.....
