This icing never stiffened up for me but I don't want to rate it because it might have been my fault. I used Neufchatel cheese instead of full fat cream cheese so maybe that made a difference. I even put it in the fridge overnight hoping it would stiffen up but it didn't. Needless to say, the carrot cupcakes we frosted were pretty messy but still yummy!

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
