Ingredients for Icing
(can also use cream cheese frosting from the store if you don’t have time to make)

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar (2 ½ cups was about the right sweetness for my taste).

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, Baking soda, Baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. In your mixer, cream together the butter and white sugar.
