I would have never thought of dedicating an entire cookbook to frostings, but there really are so many great kinds, and even more than I would’ve never thought of such as this bananas foster frosting. My favorite is cream cheese frosting
I love cream cheese frosting. It’s delicious and works well with lot of different flavors.

We had an amazing Bailey’s Irish Cream frosting on our wedding cake – to die for!
I love vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream the best.
My absolute favorite is a yummy Peanut Butter frosting and dark chocolate cake.
Vanilla is my favorite.
Cream cheese frosting is still my favorite but coffee or strawberry would be a close second!
