Store cream cheese frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. It can last for up to 5-7 days when properly refrigerated. If you need to store it longer, freezing is an option; just thaw it in the refrigerator and re-whip before use to restore its creamy texture. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods to prevent bacterial growth.
