Cookies and Cream Icing

Cookies and Cream Icing is a serious crowd-pleaser. It’s a little more distinctive than classic vanilla or chocolate icings, but it’s still basic enough to appeal to traditionalists. The texture and dappled look of the icing make it easy to ice cakes with because you don’t need to spend so much time smoothing the final coat. We serve it exclusively with our Devil’s Food cakes or cupcakes (see pages 98–112), but feel free to pair it with any favorite cake.
