Tag: Calories in frosting

Did you know a single tablespoon of store-bought cream cheese topping can contain over 100 calories? The exact number of calories in cream cheese topping varies dramatically based on its ingredients and preparation, from rich homemade recipes to lighter whipped store-bought versions.

According to the official Pillsbury website and various grocery retailers, one serving (2 tablespoons) of Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Strawberry Frosting contains 140 calories. This sweet treat adds a significant caloric punch to any dessert, primarily from its high sugar and fat content.

While a plain cupcake might contain just over 100 calories, the addition of rich, sugary frosting can significantly increase its caloric content, pushing a standard-sized treat into the 200 to 400 calorie range or higher. The final count depends heavily on size, recipe, and frosting type.
