1/4 package (2 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice or milk
1 1/2 packages (12 ounces) cream cheese, softened
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3 cups cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped glaceed mixed fruit (i.e., cherries and pineapple)
