Amy's Cream Cheese Frosting

We celebrated Little Miss Melody's First Birthday this past weekend.  It was wonderful and I talked a little bit about it in my post yesterday where I shared the Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms that I served as an appetizer for her party.

We had quite the feast for her birthday, most of which I have shared with you previously but a couple of new things that I want to post about in the next couple of days, hoping that you enjoy them as much as we did this weekend.

Today, I would like to share my daughter, Amy's, recipe for cream cheese frosting.  I am not a frosting lover but I do enjoy this frosting that I find to be much lighter than most.  It meets all my requirements for the perfect recipe.  It is easy peasy and delicious!  I hope that you enjoy it.
