Notes

  • Adjust the frosting sweetness to you preference. I usually add 3/4 cup – 1 cup of powdered sugar. Feel free to add up to 2 cups of powdered sugar or as little as 1/2 cup.
  • Add more or less milk to the cream cheese frosting if needed. If the frosting is really thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time.
