It’s made for cakes, big and small, but also loves a cookie sandwich and is great to pep up a doughnut or cake pop. Options to change it up are as big as your imagination. Color it bright and bold or go for pretty pale pastels. Flavor it with citrus zest or extracts or go for mix-ins…chopped nuts, toasted coconut or sprinkles. Spread, pipe or dollop. Go crazy!
