4-6 Cups Powdered Sugar

 

Step 1: Beat room temperature cream cheese and unsalted butter together until creamy, add vanilla to the mixture.

Step 2: Slowly add powdered sugar to mixture, one cup at a time, if powdered sugar is too thin, add more. The frosting should be able to form and hold peaks.

Step 3: Slowly add powdered sugar to mixture, one cup at a time, if powdered sugar is too thin, add more. The frosting should be able to form and hold peaks. Add frosting to piping bag, or ziplock bag.

Step 4:  Cut end tip of bag, be sure to only cut the first end of the tip, so that it forms a circle. Tip: If you want larger sized “zig-zags” on the cake cut the tip on the bag bigger.

Step 5: Frost a thin layer of frosting around the entire cake, this cake be a semi-smooth coat of frosting on the cake.

Step 6: Pipe “zig zag” shapes, move your hand in an up and down “u-shapped” motion, move the cake around to form the first level. Add more “u-shapped” frosting layers on top of one another!
