I used the same frosting recipe that I used for my wedding cupcakes for this cake. It's super easy to make, just beware, don't overbeat, because the frosting will get a bit runny. If that happens, just make sure it's really cold when you pipe or frost your cake.
Ingredients
2- 8 oz packages of cream cheese
2 sticks of butter
3 cups of powdered sugar
1. Using a stand mixer, whip the butter first.
2. Add the cold cream cheese and beat on low for 10 seconds.
3. Add 1 cup of confectioners sugar and whip until smooth.
4. Keep adding the sugar until you reach the correct consistency.
Tip: If you want to color your frosting, I would add the color and adjust as you are making the frosting, as opposed to add the color after you finish creating the frosting. This prevents over-working the frosting.
