Posted By Discussion Topic: Cream Cheese Frosting   sunjan 09-28-2004 @ 3:31 AM                                 Member Posts: 3 Joined: Jan. 04 more info  Hi, I need some help. My frosting always turns out runny and too sweet. Just how long do I need to beat the mixture in order to get the right consistency so that it can spread well on the cake? Please help.

For a super smooth (not fluffy) buttercream or cream cheese icing, don't beat as long, maybe 5 minutes. As far as sweetness goes, I would just cut down on the amount of sugar you are using in the icing recipe. Add sugar a little at a time, tasting to get the right sweetness for your particular taste. Take care and I hope this information helps you out.
