Bridal Cake Frosting Recipe

Bridal Cake Frosting Recipe Rating 5

I've made wedding cakes for 15 years. I use box mixes but created my own frosting recipe. It has a nice flavor, plus it pipes and sets up well. I used this frosting on the cake when our daughter, Delores, married cowboy Les Jensen.

I used this recipe to make pull-apart cupcake cakes. It has incredible flavor and is easy to frost with.
