You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 4 cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 cup or one stick Butter (softened)
  • 6 oz Cream Cheese

Steps (5 steps, 1 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your ingredients, let the butter and cream cheese come to room temperature. DO NOT HEAT THEM TO SPEED THE PROCESS!

  2. 2

    In an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Add in one cup of confectioner's sugar (aka Powdered sugar or icing sugar) at a time so you don't cover your kitchen or yourself in sugar. Let it mix until the frosting forms, about 2 1/2-3 mins.

  5. 5

    Load it up into a pastry bag and pipe it onto your cupcakes!
