How people cook with it

Simply open the container and use as desired. For best results, ensure the frosting is at room temperature before spreading. You can use a spatula to apply it evenly over cooled cakes and cupcakes. For more intricate designs, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with your preferred tip. It can also be used as a filling between cake layers or cookies, or dolloped on top of brownies and bars.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional buttercream frostings, this product incorporates cream cheese, which provides a distinct tanginess and a denser, smoother mouthfeel. The addition of lemon offers a brighter, more acidic counterpoint to the sweetness, setting it apart from plain cream cheese frostings.
