    I don’t have an electric mixer. can this be made by hand and get the same consistency? I’m finding mine runny.

    How long does the frosting keep in the fridge? Can I leave it for two days?

      It will be fine in the fridge for a week or so.

    wil this work with home-made cream cheese? I make my own from sour cream by draining the liquids from it overnight in a cloth…

      While I haven’t tried it myself, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’d love to hear how it turns out for you.

    How do I keep cream cheese frosting from being so runny that the frosted cake has to be kept in the fridge? Are there proportion formulas, e.g., 1 part cream cheese : 1 part butter : 2 parts powdered sugar for a firm frosting?

    )please reply to this email.)

      I use this recipe for frosting a cake. If you need to make it more stiff, add more sugar.
