Happy Almost Easter!
My favorite thing to do a few days before any holiday is bake! The last few months I have been working hard at trying to perfect a buttercream frosting. Last night, I made a pink vanilla buttercream and a blue-green tie dye frosting. I added neon food coloring to the buttercream to change the colors. So far, the closest recipe I have found in making my buttercream taste and stand tall like the cupcake shoppes’ frosting is from the link below. See the Mint Buttercream Frosting.
