CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• You can make this frosting with a hand mixer or stand mixer, in a food processor, or by hand with a whisk in a mixing bowl (don't skimp on the size).
• To start, combine the cream cheese and butter. Beat the cream cheese and butter together until they are fully blended.
• Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then stir the mixture with a spoon until the powdered sugar is incorporated (or else powdered sugar will fly everywhere!). Finally, whip the frosting until it's nice and fluffy.
• Use the frosting immediately, or store it in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. Before using, let it warm to room temperature for about 15 minutes and briefly rewhip before using.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in the butter, beating until smooth. Sift the sugar into the bowl and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Refrigerate until slightly chilled and firm, about 20 minutes.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat the softened butter to a soft and even consistency. Add the orange juice, if using, then the icing sugar. Cream until you have a smooth, soft buttercream consistency.
• Add the cream cheese and work it in - don't beat it in, just slowly mix with a wooden spoon. Depending on how soft the mixture is, you may want to put it in the fridge for 10 mins at this point. If it's runny, it will firm up again. It should be spreadable and not run off the cake.
