Can't find cream cheese anywhere. :( What brand did you use?

[coleyskitchen]

@MyPandaboo I use Philadelphia cream cheese the one in a baking block not the spreadable one. good luck!

how did you get your frosting so thick? mine always turns out runny!

[coleyskitchen]

@lesterluvsu adding some extra icing sugar will thicken it up. make sure all your proportions are right too, and using a light type of cream cheese, as in less fat, makes it much runnier, its very hard to use that one for frosting! hope i could help!
