I cut the butter in half -- using only three sticks -- and it came out superbly. it held its shape in between the cakes, as well as for the decoration (I made a flag cake, obviously, on the fourth).

I love Martha Stewart and she is my idol, but the proportions in this recipe are way off!! The reason why the frosting is too loose is because it has too much butter. Here is the cream cheese frosting recipe that I use: 8oz. cream cheese (room temperature); 1/2 stick of unsalted butter (room temperature); 1 pound (or 4 cups) of confectioner's sugar; and 1 teaspoon of good-quality vanilla extra. You should double this recipe to frost a two-layer cake.

This was too loose and did not work well at all on a layer cake. It is delicious and great as a "spread" or icing for cinnamon rolls. I used the recipe from Martha Stewart's new Weddings book which is the same as the above. I was VERY disappointed as it should be a recipe specifically for a tiered wedding cake. There is no way a tiered cake would not ooze frosting everywhere!
