Carrot Cake Icing

Carrot cake icing is fabulous for frosting a wedding cake, and pairs perfectly with my best ever carrot cake recipe.

The-best-carrot-cake-recipes I have been using this recipe forever. It's simple, delicious and goes perfectly with carrot wedding cake, my chocolate cake recipe and my banana cake recipes.

Make sure that the cream cheese and the butter are at room temperature before mixing.

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 Tablesoons sweet butter
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)

Cream together cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl.

Slowly sift in the confectioners' sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated. Mixture should be free of lumps.

Stir in vanilla and lemon


Cream Cheese Frosting For Icing A Wedding Cake


carrot-wedding-cake I use the carrot cake icing recipe for my wedding cakes, but in a larger quantity. This recipe is enough to fill and crumb coat two layers of 14-10-8 and 6 inch cakes.

Tip: Buttercream provides better coverage than cream cheese frosting. I crumb coat the cake in a thick layer of the carrot cake frosting, put it in the fridge for a few hours and then finish the cake with my best wedding cake frosting.

The wedding cake to the right was done using this technique.

Would you like to see the making of a wedding cake from start to finish? Go to my make your own wedding cake page for video tutorials or just to see how it is done.

If you don't have a large mixer than you will have to do this in smaller batches.

  • 2 1/2 lbs. cream cheese
  • 1 lb. butter 15 cups confectioners' sugar
  • juice of two lemons
  • 3 Tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of vanilla
