Use liquid flavoring like extracts or juices sparingly. This recipe calls for 2 parts cream cheese and 1 part butter, which I found to be the perfect ratio to get a pipeable frosting right away without having to refrigerate before piping. Make sure your butter is at room temperature, beatable but not too soft. But it can harden up with a little refrigeration and can still be pipeable. I found that when I made this recipe with an equal amount of cream cheese and butter, the frosting turns out softer and runnier. What do I do if my frosting is too runny?įrosting with lower sugar content can turn out very soft, especially in warmer weather. Try other powders and ground spices such as cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, cinnamon, etc.You can even flavor it with freeze-dried fruits such as strawberry for a pretty in pink Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting to adorn these Strawberry Cupcakes.For these Lemon Cupcakes, a little lemon zest and lemon extract add some zing to the classic cream cheese frosting.But flavor variations are easy to achieve and super easy as well.

This classic cream cheese frosting is a must for Red Velvet Cupcakes, Carrot Cupcakes, and Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes.
