Steps:
- You can make this frosting with a hand mixer or stand mixer, in a food processor, or by hand with a whisk in a mixing bowl (don't skimp on the size).
- To start, combine the cream cheese and butter. Beat the cream cheese and butter together until they are fully blended.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then stir the mixture with a spoon until the powdered sugar is incorporated (or else powdered sugar will fly everywhere!). Finally, whip the frosting until it's nice and fluffy.
- Use the frosting immediately, or store it in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. Before using, let it warm to room temperature for about 15 minutes and briefly rewhip before using.

CLASSIC CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This classic frosting couldn't be easier to make and is a must for finishing red velvet and carrot cakes (or a batch of cupcakes). Using vanilla bean paste gives it a pretty speckled look, but if you don't have it on hand, pure vanilla extract will lend the same flavor.
