the cream cheese thread but honestly, I do not have time to read ALL 737 posts to find a good, delicious cream cheese to use for a very moist red velvet cake. It's for my daughter's top tier--6" wedding cake--but no nuts
. CC, any suggestions??
AMy recipe is one part butter, two parts cream cheese, four parts powdered sugar, and salt & vanilla to taste. Sometimes I use more or less sugar, depending on consistency I need. More sugar, more salt to offset all the sweet. Hope it helps.
AReally? You don't want to spend hours combing the threads? ;) lol Here is a good one if you don't want to weight your ingredients: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cream-Cheese-Frosting-II/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Thumb&e11=cream%20cheese%20frosting&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Recipe
This is what I use.
1 stick unsalted butter
1 stick salted butter
1 large container whipped cream cheese (I use Philadelphia brand and it comes in two sizes. The bigger size is the one I use, maybe 10.something ounces. Sorry, am at work and can't find it on their website.)
2-3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon popcorn salt
Mix together, add one 2lb bag of powdered sugar. Slowly incorporate the sugar. If it is too dense, you can add a couple tablespoons of milk. Add the milk a little at a time because it is pretty easy to accidentally add too much.
I've used to to cover cakes and pipe on them, but it is softer than my normal buttercream.

tks, will try it!
ok, the cake recipe is from trisha yearwoods foodnet work show . It is very moist. she is using a 9x13, but i do have good luck with making it into round layers. i torte the layers and then i make the pineapple filling using, 1 20 oz can of crushed pineapple, about 3/4 cup granualted sugar, 2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice, 2 T flour or cornstarch. I then bring this to a slight boil on med-high heat and whisk for about 5 min. I will hold pot up off the eye if feels too hot, etc. let it cool good. Then as i said, make carmijok's c/c icing and add few drops of olive nation key lime ext. I t doesn,t take much. I taste it as i make it to get it the lime taste i want. It is delicious. I make it for my brother in law a lot. I make it for our cake club and all love it. You can weaken the c/c icing if you need to with milk or whipping cream, i use whipping cream . This c/c icing does crust and can use paper towel method of smoothing if you wish. The key lime cake recipe is all over the internet. I made key lime cake using another recipe and fell back on trishia's . if you need more info , don,t mind p/ming me. watch the layers as it is finishing baking. i usuall go a little longer that it says. i do bake on 325 when i bake it.

tried it, love it!!...will use it for the 2nd tier of the wedding cake..
I have had a lot of success with this recipe. You can pipe it. You use shortening with butter or you can use all shortening. I have used all shortening in hot weather and it holds up very well and taste great.
Crusting Cream Cheese Frosting
Use either 1/2 c shortening with 1/2 cup butter OR
1 c shortening
1- 8 oz cream cheese
1 tbs vanilla
2 lbs confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp salt
