Wonderful!~I used on cinnamon buns and was delish! I only made 1/2 of the recipe since I had only enough cream cheese for 1/2. Mmmmm! Thanks!

    This was so easy to make! I added a touch of milk to get it to the consistency that I wanted and it came out PERFECT. Nice and thick yet very spreadable.. and so yummy! Everyone loved it with the cupcakes I made. Thanks!

    YUMMY! Wow! This recipe was so easy to make. In my haste, I dumped everything (used low fat cream cheese but regular butter) in the bowl and turned on the mixer. Then I looked at the instructions. Oops! It still turned out delicious! Thanks for sharing.

    This is very nice, creamy frosting with just a hint of tang. I made your Pumpkin Bars in two 9-inch pans, scaled this recipe to 70%, and frosted them. (I didn't have enough cream cheese for the entire recipe.) It did seem to me that there was plenty of frosting, and the people I work with all commented on how good the bars were with the frosting. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.
