My favorite would have to be chocolate!
Toffee Carmel would have to be at the top of my. List!
Kahlua butter cream
vanilla buttercream
Chocolate!
Chocolate fudge
My favorite frosting flavor depends on what it is going on. For carrot cake it HAS to be rich cream cheese frosting. For cake, it is almost ALWAYS chocolate buttercream. Oh and if there is Nutella in it? Yeah….I’m done!
I cannot get enough of vanilla buttercream. I know, chocolate is wonderful, but to me there’s nothing better than a truly rich, vanilla buttercream. mmm
I love cream cheese frosting! Especially on my favorite cake: carrot cake!
I love making Swiss Meringue Buttercream. And I love adding sparkling champagne to my buttercream! I’ve been meaning to try a strawberry and champagne swirl frosting. What kind of cupcake would you match with it?
