Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

This one is my family favourite frosting. It is so addictive and delicious and so easy to make! The caramel adds a new depth of flavour and this frosting goes well with so many cake and cupcake flavours.

Notes

  • Processing your light brown sugar into a powder is optional, however, if you choose to skip this step your frosting may be a bit more crunchy but just as delicious.
