Ok update on the buttercream cheese frosting - I'm editing carrot cake now but thought this may be helpful to some - confirmed that Philadelphia full fat cream cheese works and meringue powder (from Wilton) works in place of powdered egg whites. Also tested Philadelphia in the tub - the result was ever so slightly runnier in the end. Still workable for piping and smoothing, but if you have issues, add a little bit more butter to offset the decrease in fat content they use for this kind of cream cheese.
