This frosting is not to be eaten on its own (though some may be tempted). Instead, spread it on cake, brownies, cupcakes, Christmas cookies, or other similar frosted delights. For an extra festive touch, we suggest making one white batch and a smaller colored batch, then spreading the white on as a base and making your favourite designs on it with the colored frosting (you will need a pastry bag for this). | This frosting is not to be eaten on its own (though some may be tempted).
