Cream Cheese Frosting...we must talk!

Before the holidays arrive and everybody starts making fabulous cupcakes, I must address the issue of cream cheese frosting.  Let me be clear...if you are going to make cream cheese frosting it MUST taste like cream cheese, not just a sweet buttercream with a little cream cheese added. 

Here is the recipe!

8 oz. cream cheese - room temperature
1 stick butter
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups confectioner's sugar

P.S.  I am not unreasonable...I do approve of the addition of the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon or 1/2 cup of fruit puree.
