I LOVE cream cheese frosting, but would love to make others to try them! Anyone have great frosting recipes???
Mmmmm, looks tasty! I'm always looking for more pumpkin recipes! I love chocolate buttercream frosting on cakes and cupcakes! Or royal icing :)But I don't think you can really go wrong with any frosting.
