Icing & Frosting

Frosting and icing are very important if you’re baking cakes and cupcake recipes. (They’re also sometimes important for various cookie recipes.)

If you’re looking for a classic homemade icing recipe, you’re in the right place!
Some of my most popular icings include Easy Sugar Cookie Icing and Cream Cheese Icing.
