That's why I was so darn excited to receive Courtney Dial Whitmore's latest book, Frostings! Well, I was also excited because Courtney is pretty much as sweet as the frostings in her book. Cute as a button and filled with joy, Courtney shares her recipes, entertaining and party tips on her blog, Pizzazzerie.
Frostings is a beautiful hardcover book, filled with, you guessed it, recipes for frostings! Not just frosting, but glazes and ganaches, too. The pictures are gorgeous...showcasing inspiring frosting techniques and ideas. I already know I will refer to it again and again in my kitchen.
Let's take a peek inside the book, shall we?
Now, let's dive in. This picture is the one I dream about:
{oh my gosh.}
And *how cute* and delicious does this Toffee Sundae Cupcake look?!?
Courtney is graciously letting me share the recipe with you here! Yay!
TOFFEE SUNDAE FROSTING
{with permission from Frostings}
1 cup unsalted butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
1⁄3 cup caramel sauce
1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt
Chocolate Sundae Topping
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
Cream butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy (1–2 minutes). Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until thoroughly incorporated. Add in heavy cream or milk, caramel sauce, and salt. Beat for 2–3 minutes. Add additional powdered sugar to thicken frosting or more cream/milk to loosen. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate, butter, and oil until smooth. Remove from heat and drizzle over toffee frosting.
Yields 4-1/2 cups
Garnish it: Heath toffee bits, chocolate topping, cherry on top
Also! Would one of you like to win a copy? Here's what you do...leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite frosting flavor.
