I am doing a red velvet cake for my friend's birthday. She will probalby use me for lots more of cakes so I want this one to wow her! She wants cream cheese icing and I want to do some roses and other flowers. Should I use buttercream flowers with the cream cheese icing?

Also, the cream cheese icing recipe here calls for "sugar" I am taking this to mean granulated sugar since it doesn't say powdered or confectioners. Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.

I haven't seen the recipe, but I'm pretty sure it's confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar). Unless it's a cooked recipe, granulated would make a very grainy and odd frosting.

I would think it means granulated sugar can you post the recipe exactly as it says here for us to see? Then maybe we could tell you for sure.

I agree, it is probably powdered sugar. I would use buttercream to make the flowers as cream cheese icing is usually too soft. HTH
