I need a recipe for thick cream cheese frosting to put on my red velvet cupcakes. The one I have (that I use for my carrot cake) often turns out too thin...I can spread it on...but cant pipe a swirl with it.

Here's a recipe that uses a large amount of cream cheese:

Can i do a 1M swirl with this cream cheese recipe? I badly need one to frost my red velvet cupcakes with the swirl... please help ..Thanks

To make my icing thicker, I add more sugar. I put in too much cream cheese once and it got all sticky and gooey and I was pretty much unable to work with it.

Less sugar equals the same as more fat or liquid = thin icing.
