  • Temperature Matters: Use softened butter to ensure smooth, lump-free frosting. Soften cream cheese to room temperature for a creamy and spreadable result.
  • Frosting Application: For a smooth, even frosting, use a piping bag or a spatula. Work in small sections to avoid smudging.

  • Flavor Enhancers: Add extracts like vanilla, almond, or peppermint for a flavor boost. You can also incorporate cocoa powder, citrus zest, or chopped nuts for a unique taste.
  • Keep it Fresh: Store frosted treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
