Notes
Room Temperature Cream Cheese: The cream cheese needs to be at room temperature in order to create the perfect consistency of frosting.
Scaling The Recipe: The recipe as written makes enough to frost 12 cupcakes. If you want to frost a three layer 6-inch cake, then 2x the recipe. Or, if you want to frost a three layer 8-inch cake, 3x the recipe.
Baked Desserts: Make sure any dessert you use this frosting on is completely cooled before frosting. If not, the frosting will melt right off.
