Notes

• The beauty of this frosting is that you can make it in advance and store it in the freezer until the day you are ready to use it.
• Make sure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature so that you don’t end up with lumps in your creamy frosting.
• For piping the frosting, chilling for 30 to 40 minutes is recommended. For frosting a cake, 30 minutes is sufficient.
• To use this frosting after refrigeration or freezing, set the frosting on the counter at room temperature for an hour or so until the frosting softens. Then beat in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy before spreading on top of the cake or cupcakes.
