Hey Shaum girls! Now I know we barely update our own blogs, let alone post on our cooking blog- but I know we all have been cooking up a storm and we need to share all our yummy recipes! Now don't fall off your chairs but, I just made my first wedding cake with my sister-in-law Kayli! 3 tiers, with filling and fondant the whole 9 yards! So I thought I would share a great Buttercream frosting with all of you! You can use this recipe and add raspberry jam to make a Raspberry buttercream, and you can also add crushed up Oreos to make a delightful Cookies and Cream frosting- this was our filling!
