This basic cream cheese frosting recipe is very adaptable. You can easily double it for big cakes, though this will make more than enough for a batch of cupcakes or several batches of pumpkin cookies.

Also, you may want to try adding fruit preserves to the cream cheese icing, instead of milk to add flavor and thin the thick icing. My personal favorite is cherry preserves. Mmmm cherry cream cheese icing on chocolate cake!

The problem we have had in the past with that is the preserves tend to make the cream cheese chunk up.
