Maple Frosting

bvI also got this recipe from my mother in law Cheryl. It was on the same sheet as the Silver White Cake recipe. I frosted the Silver white cake with this and it turned out so good.

2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 cups powdered sugar

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter egg whites, and maple syrup. 
2. Mix in the powered sugar. 
3. Beat until Frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.

German Chocolate Frosting

This is for all who love German Chocolate cake. I'm not a big fan of it myself, but my husband loves it. This is my mom's recipe. I've been told it is good.

1 cup evaporated milk
3 eggs yolks slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup chopped nuts
1 1/2 cup coconut

1. In a sauce pan, combine the milk sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla.
2. Cook over medium heat and stir constantly while mixture thickens.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the nuts and coconut.
4. Spread on cooled chocolate cake. 

Caramel icing

This recipe is originally from the Jumbo Caramel Banana Muffins. I thought it made a good frosting for any cake too.

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon 2% milk
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

 In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk; bring to a boil. Cool slightly. Beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag and drizzle over muffins or bundt cake.

Butter Cream White Frosting

This is my own recipe I have made over the years. It is similar to the chocolate frosting. To me nothing compares to homemade frosting.

1/2 cup butter

12-16 ounces powered sugar

2-4 tablespoons milk

pinch of salt

2 teaspoons vanilla

1. Melt the butter in the microwave.
2. Pour melted butter into a bowl that has the powdered sugar in it.
3. Add salt, vanilla, and a tablespoon of the milk.
4. Beat together until smooth.
5. If it is too stiff, add more milk. If it is too runny add more powered sugar. 
6. Frost on cake or brownies. 

Chocolate Frosting

When I was growing up, my sisters and I would take turns making the dessert. Usually Samantha would make the cake and I would make the frosting. I usually did it by feel and the look and textured of the frosting. It more often then not came out perfect. I hope it works for you.

1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons cocoa
12-16 oz powered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

1. Melt the butter in the microwave.
2. Mix the cocoa into the butter.
3. Pour melted butter cocoa into a bowl that has the powdered sugar in it.
4. Add salt, vanilla, and a tablespoon of the milk.
5. Beat together until smooth.
6. If it is too stiff, add more milk. If it is too runny add more powered sugar.
