Awhile back someone asked for the recipe that I use for cream cheese icing...so here it is!
Start my mixing 1 package of cream cheese, with 1/2 cup of marg....mix it together until it is smooth.
Add 2tsp vanilla, and mix it in as well.
Then start adding icing sugar until you reach your desired consistency...for piping I usually add 3-4 cups.
PERFECT!
If you want to make chocolate cream cheese icing (which is my new FAV), just add about 1/3 cup cocoa before you start adding in the icing sugar!
And since this is a post about icing, I thought why not share this little tip...
When you are filling your piping bag put it into a cup and it is 1000 times easier, and cleaner to fill!
And here are the little beauties that I was making this icing for. They were for a hot pink, teal, black and white rockstar themed baby shower that I went to this afternoon!
Thanks for the recipe, I was hoping you would get around to it. Great tip also! I would have never thought of that.
