This book just overflows with adorable and creative frostings ideas and covers all of the basics you have to know in creating great frostings. From basic butter creams, to cooked frostings and fun glazes and ganaches this book is over brimming with fun. I wanted to share with you her recipe for Bananas Foster Frosting because well, it’s one of my favorite combos like ever. Banana and rum? I mean please girl. It’s where its at. This can of course be made with rum extract instead of the real deal for those who choose not to partake in the booze version, but either way it’s good. And with a whole banana in there – it’s considered a fruit right? I wish!!
