Cream Cheese Frosting: this recipe makes the fluffiest cream cheese icing, so thick, pipeable, and stiff. Great for cupcakes, cakes, or cinnamon rolls! I’m back today with an information-packed post for a recipe that can be notoriously tricky: cream cheese frosting! I have quite a few great frosting and filling recipes on this site.
