This is my favorite cream cheese frosting, which is perfect for just about anything that you can put frosting on. I made it for my son's birthday cake/cupcakes a few years ago and it has been my go-to frosting ever since. The cream cheese is not overpowering (but definitely present) and it's not too heavy and not too sweet. This frosting has an airiness that will take you right up to cupcake heaven.
