For the icing:
In a mixing bowl, beat the ingredients together until smooth.
I'd have to give these a pretty good. I'm afraid to say it, but the frosting just didn't do it for me. I know it's awful, but I loved canned cream cheese frosting, and the homemade, well, just wasn't the same. I think it's the one processed food I can't give up.

ha, cute cupcake liners. What didn't you like about the frosting? Was it too sweet from the additional sugar you put in, or did you put in more sugar because it wasn't sweet enough? I prefer my cream cheese frosting to have some butter in it... maybe that would help?
Ha, I know, they were the only kind they had in our supermarket, yay random sports equipment!
As for the frosting, I kept adding more sugar because it wasn't sweet enough! I'll try the butter suggestion next time for sure.
