Pecan Upside-down Cake & Cream Cheese Frosting &

I made a cake today! Pecan upside-down cake, with the best ever cream cheese frosting! Now, I love Cinnabon Cinnamon buns, and they have the best cream cheese frosting. It's light, fluffy, sweet but not too sweet, melts on top of the hot cinnabon and it's Oh so good!
So I wanted to duplicate that, and this time I've come the closest I've ever gotten, and it's delicious!

The upside down part stuck a bit to the bottom of the pan, so it turned out a bit like brown sugar crumbs! =3

Mmm, I can imagine what both the flavor and texture of the frosting will taste like. I need to bake something.
