We had another unexpected snowfall at the beginning of the week. Since we live on the hills, we were stuck at home. The roads were too slippery to drive anywhere.
Anyway, I made these mini vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese icing to entertain the little one. The recipe for the vanilla cupcakes can be found here.
Edited to add:
This is what I used for the cream cheese icing.
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
Just cream the cream cheese and butter together till smooth. Add sugar & vanilla. Beat till light and fluffy. Leave in the fridge for about an hour before using. Usually cream cheese icing is softer than buttercream because I don’t add as much sugar. So it may necessary to put your icing back into the fridge if you find it too soft or you can just add more sugar.
