Oh, man. Just wow. Okay, let me snap out of it. This frosting is, just, like, liquid gold. Is frosting really a liquid? Whatever. It is frosting gold. Frosting is not even my favorite part of a dessert, and I could eat this by the spoonful. Use this cream cheese frosting! I am not sure I really ever need another one. One great place for it? These pumpkin cupcakes of course. And many more things too. I actually enjoy almost any cake with cream cheese frosting.
