Reviews
Awesome
Everyone really liked this frosting. Only one person said is there almond or something that it in the frosting?
Awesome
The almond extract and the ratio of the cream cheese butter and sugar makes for an exquisite frosting. I can use this on a lemon filled cake a raspberry filled cake or make coconut cupcakes with this such a versatile recipe❤️
Great
Ssssoooooooooo good!!!!!!!
Very, very easy and so good! I used it to ice my cinnamon rolls.
Very good! I used less almond extract and let my mixer beat it till it was like air. Yumm 🙂
The ingredients find a lovely balance in ratio; the taste is remarkable. I found the icing took a very nice paddle whip resulting in a very light texture. Awesome on a naked cake top… rich and yet long on flavor. (it’s no wonder the recipe is presented with a cupcake!)
perfect,delicious!!
