Smooth Cream Cheese Frosting

As much as I love a good buttercream, some cakes were just made for cream cheese frosting!

The key to a nice smooth frosting is making sure that the ingredients are at room temperature.  Cold cream cheese or butter will just make lumpy frosting.  I also like to use the whisk attachment on my mixer; it may take a little bit longer, but it really helps break up any little unblended bits in the mixture.

Cherry Chocolate Cream Cheese Balls

Cream cheese anything is delicious, in my opinion, and I especially love it in any sort of dessert.  These little balls are bite-sized goodness that are very simple to make.
