I am a simple buttercream or cream cheese frosting girl. The book looks amazing. How fun to have a book just for frosting. My kind of book!
My favorite is peanut butter frosting.
To me, a raspberry buttercream frosting is simply the best ! You can pair it up with both chocolate and vanilla and add a bit of color at the same time. Long live rasberry buttercream ! 😀
