    You have to have a great recipe for classic cream cheese frosting.
 It is a must in any baker’s arsenal.  It comes together quickly and
is perfect for so many kinds of cake.  Baking a carrot cake?  You have
to have cream cheese frosting!  Need something for your chocolate cake?
 Cream cheese frosting!  Making a strawberry cake?  Wouldn’t it
be lovely with some cream cheese frosting?!   You get my point.
 Anyway, this is easy and delicious and a must make in any kitchen!

     Some people do half butter and half cream cheese in their
frosting, but I love that this is almost all cream cheese.  It leaves that
cream cheese tang in tact and is perfect for
Linda’s Carrot Cake, which just so happens to be where this recipe comes from!
