Certainly it’s no secret I love homemade frosting, and my friend Courtney, from the beautiful entertaining blog Pizzazzerie does too! She’s just released a gorgeous new book full of delicious and creative frosting recipes.
I recently got my hands on this beautiful book, and Courtney is allowing me to share one of her delicious recipes!

I love cream cheese frosting!
I have to say cream cheese frosting is the best frosting to me. I just love it YUM!!! My children just love to eat frosting and leave the cake. This book would be great for them. HAHA.
I love a good chocolate frosting.
i can never go wrong with cream cheese frosting 🙂
Chocolate fudge
I am pretty sure I love them all, partial to fluffy ones. Chocolate Cream Cheese, and Fluffy peanut butter frosting are two the leap to the front of my mind. My all time favorite I had on a cake at a wedding when I was little – I have never been able to find the name of it or recreate it – it was brown, fluffy and tasted like raw cookie dough.
