Don’t you love homemade butter cream frosting?
It’s just so yummy. I could sit and eat a bowl (if I would not get sick, lol).
If you a stuck in the rut of just using canned frosting you are really missing out. Sure, it’s easy to use, but it’s no where near as good.
And to be honest Buttercream is easy to make and only takes about 6 minutes.
With homemade frosting, no one will be the wiser that the cake was from a box mix ;).
