This is a great (and easy) alternative to traditional butter cream frosting!

1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1-1 1/2 teaspoon milk
2 2/3 cups powdered sugar

Blend margarine and marshmallow creme together till smooth. Add liquids and mix well.
Blend in powdered sugar and beat till smooth and creamy. If thinner frosting is desired, simply add more milk.

Marshmallow Cream Frosting

1 T vanilla
1 t almond extract

7 Minute Frosting

This was my mothers favorite frosting. It is VERY sweet and although your arm will hurt after making it- it is well worth it! It tastes like marshmallow frosting.



2 cups white sugar
3 egg whites
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In the top of a double boiler, combine the sugar, egg whites, corn syrup, water and vanilla. Place over boiling water and beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 7 minutes, or until frosting forms peaks when beaters are raised. Remove from heat. Use immediately to frost a cooled cake before it hardens.

Mocha Frosting

This is wonderful when paired with a chocolate cake like the one I posted yesterday, cupcakes, or brownies!

1/4 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 T baking cocoa
1 box powdered sugar
1/4 cup strong black coffee

dash of vanilla

Mix melted butter and Baking Cocoa in a mixing bowl. Add the confectioners Sugar and the black Coffee. Mix well. Stir in vanilla.


TIP OF THE DAY: If frosting is too thin, put in fridge for a few minutes until it thickens.

Cake Mix Frosting

My daughter Madison LOVES Cold Stone Creameries Cake Batter ice cream- so when I saw this frosting recipe that said it tasted just like their ice cream, I knew I had to try it! Monday was her 1/2 Birthday so I thought that would be the perfect opportunity! She ABSOLUTELY loved it and asked to eat the frosting off of the cake (of course I said no to her request)! It seems odd, but is actually wonderful!

1-2 cup whipping cream
1 (18 ounce) package cake mix, any flavor (I used white)

Use 1/2 the cake mix. Pour into bowl and with electric beater, mix until most lumps are gone. Pour in whipping cream. Start with 1 cup, add more as needed. This can get very thick fast, so just add more whipping cream until you reach desired spreading consistency.

TIP OF THE DAY: For a great variation-- use chocolate cake mix, mix as directed, stir in mini marshmallows, slivered almonds and chocolate chips for a rocky road frosting.
