Big Beth's Cream Cheese Frosting

This is the frosting that went on my birthday cake. My beautiful red velvet cake (recipe above!) Both recipes came from the same cookbook. It is the Worldwide Ward Cookbook Secret Recipes. My parents gave it to me for my birthday and I quickly put it to use. This frosting is AMAZING! My husband HATES frosting. Like, loathes it. He will scrape it off and give it to Jacob or just not eat the cake. He scarfed this! That's how you know it was a hit! If your frosting hating husband is sneaking the cream cheese frosting from the bowl. I will chalk this one up to a success. Hopefully you can too! Enjoy!
