    Hi Elana,

    I want to make a carrot cake with this frosting. Should I frost the cake and then leave it in the fridge for several hours to make it really set? Or should I ice it last minute? What do you recommend for this concoction. :)

    I love your site! It's so refreshing to see other people out there using healthier ingredients.

    Hi Elana,
    You have so many great recipes.
    I'm going to make your cream cheese frosting for my son's first birthday "banana bread" cake on Saturday. I wanted to make the frosting ahead of time, but I don't want it to go bad, knowing there will be leftovers for a few days too eat too. How far in advance would you recommend making the frosting? on Friday? or Thurs? Wed? Thanks so much for your wonderful recipe and for your help too!
