Notes
The consistency of cream cheese frosting varies greatly depending on the kind of cream cheese you are using. It should be full-fat and ideally the kind that comes in a block - not the soft, spreadable kind in a tub.
If you are using cream cheese from a tub, you may need to add more powdered sugar to your frosting to make it firm enough to frost your cupcakes.
