Cream cheese based frosting is pretty much the standard for red velvet cakes. The tastes work well together.

I have never had with cream cheese frosting of any kind, where I didn't despise the icing.It just....really disagrees with my tastebuds. Then again, an ungodly amount of food stuffs disagree with my tastebuds.

Go away. You don't deserve this thread.

Not in my family. We chill the cake in the fridge and use Cool Whip for the 'frosting'. I won't eat red velvet cake any other way.

I love me some Cool Whip with Soda cake. Amazing.

Well, as much as I like cake, I must say I found the thread title very misleading.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

I'd perhaps add a little more sugar to that icing, and also pay attention to chilling it a bit and making sure the cake is cooled off before applying it. Keeping the butter cool will stiffen up the whole thing.As best I can tell from looking at it, anyway. It's been a while since I've done a serious amount of pastry work, but mixing time and content comes into it. You also have to adjust your amounts on the basis of how much moisture you have in the air, I've found.Other thought: was the cream cheese and butter at room temp when you started?

^ This. 

Also... all this cream cheese talk is making me want to make a cheesecake. ugh.. I've already been dying to make one for the past week. This just makes it worse. I'll have to make one next weekend. 

Yes, Guru bakes... This is why my kitchen is always dirty. That and beer bottles everywhere, but hey.. don't judge me!
