Cream Cheese Frosting

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups powder sugar (to start, add more to thicken)

1 tspn vanilla

2-8 oz cream cheese

Blend all ingredients together. Add more powder sugar to get desired thickness. I usually use almost a whole bag. ;D Using a pastry bag, pipe your frosting onto the cooled cupcakes! Enjoy!!!
