basic cream cheese frosting by lady rose
This simple and easy recipe is very easy to make, but be sure to refrigerate cake when you make it because of the cream cheese. I whip this recipe up in a flash, and sometimes I will melt 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips and make it a chocolate variety. Ghiradeli chocolate is my favorite brand to use. You can also add toasted chopped nuts for a crunchy & nutty flavor. This recipe frosts a bundt cake, if I am doing a 3 layer cake, I will use a box and a half, and add a tablespoon or 2 of evaporated milk to make it more spreadable to the desired consistency.
