Tips:

For the best results, use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your cinnamon roll cake icing is flavorful and delicious.
If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute it with an equal amount of unsalted butter. However, the cream cheese will give the icing a richer flavor.
To make the icing thicker, add more powdered sugar. To make it thinner, add more milk or cream.
If you want a creamier icing, beat it for longer. This will incorporate more air into the icing, making it lighter and fluffier.
If you're making the icing ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before stirring it until smooth.
