Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

This is cake #2 I made for my boy's birthday; his special "smash" cake! I probably ate about 20 times more of this cake than he did because of it's addicting flavor. It was really simple and even a slightly healthy alternative to a store bought frosting.

Cupcakes or carrot cake/cupcakes would also taste delicious with this frosting. The lemon zest adds a yummy taste without overdoing it for your taste buds. This recipe is a must try and I promise you will not be dissapointed with it's extreme deliciousness. I found the recipe on food network.com by Ellie Krieger.

I couldn't resist adding a pic of my cute big boy!

Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
