Frosting
Coconut–Cream Cheese Frosting
In our test kitchen, Philadelphia-brand cream cheese gave us good results. This frosting would also be delicious on carrot cake or gingerbread.
Pistachio Buttercream Frosting
Use to frost White Chocolate Easter Cake with Strawberries
Whipped Crème Fraîche
This recipe originally accompanied Strawberry Basket Cake .
Decorator’s Chocolate Buttercream
This is the best chocolate buttercream icing ever. The icing is rich, like mousse, and outrageously delicious.
