Has anyone used the recipe for crusting cream cheese icing?
It says it makes it stiff to use less p sugar so if you do that and its still to stiff how do you make it thin for icing cake?

I use it all the time. Just add a little milk if it is too stiff. If too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.

Since crusting cream cheese has to be refrigerated anyway, I would thin with a little cream, half/half or milk.

Thank you both...
If making it like recipe with full amount of psugar is it too stiff for icing but stiff enough for borders and things?

Can you tell me what is so great about this crusting cream cheese frosting besides the taste? Does it have any other qualities? icon_surprised.gif

Sweetcakes 23 I have never tried it but it sounded good on a cinnamon swirl cake. I will let you know when I get it done.

I just used it this past weekend to do a basketweave and it made it really easy to do. The just cream cheese frosting doesn't seem to set up as well. I did all my decorative work with it and it was really nice to work with.

I use the crusting cream cheese buttercream, it works very well on red velvet, spice cake, carrot etc,. I mostly use it for weddings and grooms cake. It sets well, and you can do almost anything with it.

Mine didnt turn out very good should I have added more p sugar?
It was just to sticky or something ended up swirling around .

I've also used the crusting cream cheese icing. I used it to do a basketweave for the first time last weekend. I was a little worried because the icing was softening as I was using it so I was afraid it wouldn't set and that it would droop. After I put it back in the refrigerator and it had a chance to set it was fine.

I haven't tried using yet for anything requiring a stiffer consistency than just the basketweave or borders. But, it's a great recipe and it is a very good tasting cream cheese icing.
