I only made a two layer cake so thinking I could get by with the 8 oz package of cream cheese? That being said would I only need a half cup of whipping cream?

Yes, you can then use half the amount of sugar, whipping cream and cream cheese for the filling. - Alena

trlares, thanks for asking! I've added it to the ingredients list. I used 1 cup of heavy cream (it's on the picture, but for some reason I've skipped it in the list). Thanks for pointing that out to me!
