HomeMade Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream Cheese is a must in a number of recipes like the popular red velvet cake, carrot cake or for making cheesecakes. Often times, the market one is not available easily or is quite expensive. At such times, it is better to go for homemade cream cheese frosting. It comes together in a jiffy, and mind you, it tastes and behaves just like the big branded ones.
