Cream cheese frosting tastes even better than whipped cream in some cake recipes such as red velvet cake or carrot cake. It is also used in tiramisu. This frosting is perfect for the ones who don't like too much sweetness in their frosting because the cream cheese takes some of the sweetness away and makes the frosting semi-sweet.
