Old favorite of mine:
Cream cheese frosting recipes that call for 8 oz. cream cheese and a whole stick of margarine usually require at least 1 pound of powdered sugar. Keeping the cream cheese and margarine chilled is a good idea unless you want to take the cake somewhere where it will not be refrigerated for a while. I have had good success with this recipe. I use it on Carrot Cake.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 - 8 ounce bar Cream Cheese
2 Tablespoons margerine
1 box powdered sugar (about 4 cups or 1 pound)
1/2 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
Cream cheese and margarine. Add remaining ingredients gradually. Frost cooled cake.
New Twist:
Maple Cream Cheese Icing
10ounces cream cheese (such as Philadelphia), room temperature
5tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/2cups powdered sugar
1/4cup pure maple syrup
Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat at low speed until well blended. Beat in maple syrup. Chill until just firm enough to spread, 30 minutes.
I hope this helps you out!

CARAMEL PENUCHE FROSTING - It's wonderful on any spice cake!!! I've used it on Carrot, Zucchini and Banana spice cakes.
Frosting:
1 cup packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
¼ cup whole milk
2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
Place brown sugar and butter in a medium-sized heavy saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until well combined. Approx. 2 minutes. Carefully pour in the milk, stirring and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
Place the confectioners’ sugar in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot brown sugar mixture over the confectioners’ sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the frosting is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Use immediately, while still warm, to frost the cake, or the frosting will begin to harden. If it does harden while you are frosting the cake, simply place the pan back over low heat and stir until the frosting softens up.
