I came across this very problem yesterday morning with spreading cream cheese on a bagel. It was boxed cream cheese and not at room temp, so it was a bit difficult. I had it all over me! I always have trouble spreading anything on a bagel because of the hole in the middle. If I just spread it right over the hole, depending on the size, I get big gloppy globs falling through the middle. So, I try to spread it in a circle around it, but hah! Big mess! I normally use the cream cheese in the tub, which is softer, but this was left over for Christmas baking supplies.

Earlier someone asked about spreading peanut butter. I was relieved to see that so many people used their fingers for that. That's the method I use, and the one that works the best for me, but I thought I was doing it wrong. I had a question about spreading butter both for grilled cheese and toast. I've tried to use the same method I use for peanut butter, and it doesn't seem to work as well. Butter doesn't seem to want to spread as well as peanut butter using my fingers. Anyone figured out a way to do this? Thanks for any help.
