Chocolate Wedding Cake Frosting

Betty crocker s triple chocolate fudge mix can also be used but since it has pudding in the mix it may take a bit longer to cook.

Chocolate wedding cake frosting. I managed to squeak out about 125 cupcakes for her and a small wedding cake too. It can be used in a variety of ways. My favorite way to make chocolate frosting on chocolate cake feel special is to use a different type of chocolate for the frosting like milk chocolate frosting on a dark chocolate cake and top the whole thing with chocolate shavings.

Spread on cake after cake is completely cooled. A couple of years ago i had the task of making white wedding cake cupcakes with wedding cupcake buttercream for one of the teachers at my son s school. Also if you use the butter flavored crisco the frosting will turn out very yellow unsuitable for a wedding cake.

Add 1 2 cup milk. Caramel icing is great for a filling or on cupcakes chocolate fudge is similar to ganache although not as versatile this recipe is rich. Chocolate ganache is so decadent yet so simple to make.

I took other reviewers advice and whipped the butter and shortening for 10 minutes and it had none of the greasy taste of shortening. I did add 2 1 2 tbs of milk instead of 2 and it was easier to spread and pipe on. Blend all ingredients at low speed on mixer till well blended and easy to work with.

Beat until light and fluffy. Chocolate buttercream frosting can be made with either a few scoops of cocoa powder chocolate milk powder or melted chocolate added to a basic buttercream. Gradually beat in 7 cups confectioners sugar.

In a large bowl cream 2 cups shortening. For wedding cakes i like to use a more silkier type frosting that i ll share with you in the near future. And if you fancy a nutty filling try the coconut pecan for a german chocolate cake flavor.
