Cream Cheese Icing -the recipe!-

4 oz. Cream Cheese, softened (125 g.)

1/4 cup Butter, softened

1 tsp. Vanilla

2 cup Icing Sugar

• Cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla
• beat in icing sugar, a little at a time
• Add color, if desired

Milk or cream can be added if to thick :) Delish on Grandma's Chocolate Cake!

A few tricks I have discovered for icing over the past year of making a boat load of cupcakes:

• Neon food coloring! It does awesome bright colors, with far fewer 'drops'

  

• Ziplock bag for piping, just tuck the tip you want to use through a tiny hole in one corner, fill using a wine glass to support it, and viola! You have a clean bag, with the tip in, that is cheap!
