COOK'S NOTES
Mixing the ingredients requires a food blender unless the butter and
cream cheese are at warm room temperature. Even then, mixing by hand is
hard work.
Beware the icing sugar! It gets everywhere.

PREPARATION
|
|
Add all the ingredients to the food mixer bowl and blend at
full speed for 30 seconds. That's it! Spread the icing over the cup cake. For the final smoothing use a knife warmed in hot water to obtain a smooth finish. |
 |
Decorate with whatever takes your fancy. We sprinkled a few chocolate pieces over the cream cheese topping and then crowned the creation with a Love Heart sweet. |
