Behold a cinnamon cream cheese frosting on a pumpkin cupcake filled with nuts and spices. This is a perfect fall holiday treat to bring to gatherings or have around for visitors. It’s basically a cream cheese frosting with the addition of cinnamon, but along with the vanilla, it brings a nice warmth to the frosting. Plus it’s a great balance with a sweet pumpkin or dark chocolate cake or cupcake.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting From Gimme Some Oven

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. cinnamon

In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon, mixing well until it’s all incorporated. Use immediately or refridgerate. The frosting will harden in the fridge, so plan on bring it back to room temperature if you must refrigerate it before frosting the cupcakes.

When we think of guava, we think of warm, tropical happiness. That’s why we loved this guava cupcakes with guava cream cheese frosting at BaaBaaCupcake.

If you don’t have access to fresh guava, that’s ok. This frosting recipe calls for guava syrup which is available in many grocery stores. If you’re having trouble finding it, you may look for guava paste, guava jelly, guava juice, pulp, or guava in syrup. There are also online stores like Kalyustan’s that have a great selection of international ingredients.

Here’s the super delicious guava cream cheese frosting. Don’t miss the pics and the adorable pink cupcake wrappers. Cake recipe after the jump:

Guava Cream Cheese Frosting – Baa Baa original

8 oz. of cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature

red food coloring (optional)

Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy
Slowly add the 3 cups of confectioner’s sugar, mixing in between additions
Add the vanilla and the guava syrup, mixing until smooth
Optional: if you desire your frosting to be pinker, add red food coloring one drop at a time until a desired color is reached.

The NYTimes published an interesting article on culinary students competing to reinvent the traditional birthday cake using “better for you” ingredients. The contest was sponsored by the American Cancer Society and had some delicious results that are lower in butter, sugar and oils than some traditional recipes. Even the frosting was uplifted with some tasty and somewhat healthier options.

The cream cheese icing by finalist Laura Sansone is as follows:

Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

2 pounds of low fat cream cheese
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Warm cream cheese to room temperature. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended.

2. Add vanilla and orange zest. Frost cake as desired.

In addition to using low fat cream cheese, recipes also called for healthy-ish ingredients such as blueberry-pomegranate juice, applesauce, fresh fruit and dark chocolate.
