basic frosting recipe. Great for crumb coating.

This tastes amazing! It also made my kitchen smell great. I used it as a filling for a chocolate chip, hazelnut, cookies n cream cake.

We have a wonderful cupcake/fancy cake shop in our neighborhood. When I custom ordered chocolate cupcakes with mint frosting, they told me they didn't have a mint frosting but they would make one for me and if I didn't like their frosting I could make my own & they would use it

I find that

Always turns out great and the measurements are perfect every time.

Goes well on any cake ~try to not eat the whole thing from the mixing bowl LoL

Recipe is from "The Happy Baker: A Girl's Guide to Emotional Baking" by Erin Bolger.

Chocolate cream cheese Frosting!

This frosting is a sort of hybrid using chocolate ganache and a Chocolate butter crem to make a rich, creamy Decadent frosting. It is not as sweet as a standard buttercream, the ganache provides a richer chocolate, very silky smooth touch.

I can make this icing almost as quickly as it takes to open a premade can and get it soft enough to spread on the cake!

creamy!!!
