I love cream cheese frosting! The tanginess of the frosting balances a sweet cupcake. This is why I choose cream cheese frosting over any frosting! So, if you don't know how to make the classic cream cheese frosting, you're lucky because you're about to find it out!

A cream cheese frosting consists of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract for flavoring, and milk as a thinning ingredient. In making a frosting, all ingredients must be at room temperature, otherwise, they won't incorporate well. As for the flavoring, you can use other kinds, like almond extract. You can also make a chocolate cream cheese frosting by adding some cocoa powder into the frosting. While for the milk, it's used to thin out the frosting if it gets too thick. Add a tablespoon at a time to control the consistency of the frosting.

This frosting is perfect for all kinds of cakes, most especially to red velvet cupcakes!
