How to Make Buttercream Cream Cheese Decorator Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes using a hand mixer).
  2. Beat in the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and salt, and beat until well combined.
  5. If the frosting is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream, one at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Frost your cakes or cupcakes. For best results, let the frosting set uncovered for several hours to firm up before covering loosely for transport or storage.
