I was wondering if anybody knows how I should convert a cream cheese icing recipe from a 9 in cake to an 11x15 in cake. The recipe I have is: 1 8oz. package cream cheese, 1 stick of butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla, 1/4 cup evaporated milk; more or less.
Now if anybody has any other cream cheese recipes that they absoultly L-O-V-E, I would really appreciate it because I've never made this type of icing before...... Thanks everyone

P.S. I'm making a red velvet cake this Friday so I really need everyone's help and opinion, THANKS AGAIN!!!

I like this recipe. I've tried cream cheese icing with evaporated milk, although I'm not sure it was the exact same recipe, and I couldn't decorate with it.

I used this recipe on one of the cakes in my pictures. It's a heard shaped 6 in with purple flowers on a 10 inch round cake. The flowers are buttercream, but the border was cream cheese.

Good luck!!

My recipe is basically similar to yours, but I use 4 cups of powdered sugar. I just double the recipe if I want a thick layer. But as Gibbler said you can't decorate with this recipe it's too soft.

Double it. . .but if you want to decorate with it, I'd suggest more sugar. I'll try to find you my recipe.
