Best Ever Cream Cheese Buttercream
"What makes our Best Ever Cream Cheese Buttercream wicked good? This exceptional buttercream literally melts on your tongue. It is buttery-rich, creamy and smooth with a slight tang from the cream cheese and not overly sweet. Due to an adequate amount of fat from the butter, this special buttercream pipes beautifully. Our Best Ever Cream Cheese Buttercream is versatile and pairs extremely well with white cakes, yellow cakes and chocolate cakes alike as well as cupcakes, cheesecakes and other sweet treats like baked doughnuts while proving to be absolutely indispensable in frosting carrot cakes and Red Velvet Cake. Quite simply the Best Ever Cream Cheese Buttercream! Wicked good, indeed...."
