Frosting and Glazes

Vanilla Crown Royal Whipped Cream

December 23, 2019 by Debbie 10 Comments

I am obsessed with experimenting with different flavors in whipped cream. This Vanilla Crown Royal Whipped Cream has become a new favorite. I actually created this for a boozy pecan pie that I miserably failed at but decided to still share the whipped cream. Why? Because it is AWESOME! I have been putting a little dollop of this on anything that will sit still. It is fabulous on my Brioche French Toast . It is also great on pie ,this one has a touch of whiskey in it and the flavor combination is a dream, Maple Walnut Pie from Vintage Kitty.

Mascarpone Whipped Cream

May 14, 2019 by Debbie 10 Comments

This is a decadent stablized mascarpone whipped cream and is perfect for dipping fruit in but is firm enough to frost a cake or cupcake. I created this after falling in love with Rousse’s Gentilly Cake . Their whipped frosting that is served on this cake is rich and has almost a wedding cake vibe. This is why I chose to flavor this with almond and not a traditional vanilla. I loved it so much I was inspired to make my own Gentilly Cake ..this is one epic cake.

Strawberry Frosting

March 15, 2019 by Debbie 6 Comments

When this pink yumminess passed my lips the skies opened up and I heard angels sing !! This is honestly the best strawberry frosting I have ever made, and I have made a lot . I adore anything strawberry but making strawberry frosting has always been a struggle for me. Adding fresh strawberries tend to make it a bit runny and thin. I have tried adding strawberry jello into buttercream and I found it gritty. When I discovered that making a fine powder from freeze dried strawberries was a thing , it intrigued me and I had to try it. BAM..LIFE CHANGED!!

Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting

September 13, 2018 by Debbie 2 Comments

This creamy peanut butter frosting is the perfect silky frosting to top any cake or cupcake. I have this unwritten rule at my house..NO Canned Frosting!! I can doctor up a boxed cake mix to be delectable but that frosting in a can , it is beyond help. This is one of my favorite frostings, and I have tinkered around with proportions for years. This recipe is the perfect texture for piping , it is not too thick or too thin. This is the frosting I used on the Nutter Butter Football Cupcakes and it is perfect with chocolate cupcakes. Just some another suggestion is this is great on a banana cake also.
