Finishing Touch
Cream Cheese Frosting
Adding so much icing sugar to a cream cheese frosting always makes frosting so sweet and sometimes you loose the tang of the cream cheese.
I added 2 tablespoons of buttermilk powder to bring back the tang to the frosting.
The Results
My rating of this recipe is 5 out of 5. I decorated cakes with some chopped pecans and chocolate covered pineapple.
