Default Please Share Frosting Recipes!

I would like to have more frosting options. Please share! I'm esp wanting to learn about non-buttercream frostings (whipped cream frosting?) but am open to yummy buttercream recipes too.

This is the best frosting! It seems weird, but follow the directions exactly and you'll be pleasantly surprised!

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE recipe!!! I actually went on the hunt for the perfect frosting earlier this year (cupcakes for Achoo's 1st birthday had to be perfect).

I think I tried like 8-10 recipes. LOVE LOVE LOVE this one...

And, we've used it so many times and gotten so many requests!!!

It's delicious!! TRY IT!!

This is a good, not-too-sweet chocolate frosting (which is sort of blasphemy, b/c I am *all about* rich, sugary buttercream - but this is nonetheless really good):

1/2 C sour cream
5oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Melt the chips, remove from heat, stir in the sour cream.

We made a double batch with 60% cacao chips, which was too not-sweet at first, but was *great* the next day - needed to set a bit, I guess . The buttercream I made yesterday was the same - much better after a few hours had passed.

I've found that's a great cupcake frosting, but it's not great for a whole cake. It doesn't stand up well and tends to slump. It reminds me of the filling for Hostess cupcakes, or Twinkies (but not as grainy).

I love cream cheese frosting, but it needs to be refrigerated, so I don't often make it. I usually go with a buttercream. When I do vanilla, I use real vanilla beans, so the frosting is flecked with bits. The chocolate recipe I use is from Hershey's and uses cocoa and melted butter http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/184/...te%20Cake.aspx - scroll down).
