Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting
Overview
YOU GUYS.
I love cream cheese frosting.
This is a simple one that is perfect for carrot or red velvet cake, those oatmeal sandwich cookies like Little Debbie makes, or even straight outta the bowl, not that I have ANY experience doing that.
Makes enough frosting for 12 cupcakes, 12 cookie sandwiches, or a small cake
