The Creamiest Icing
I used this icing by Straight Up Food for a carrot cake on my son’s birthday and it was so delicious. I made two carrot cakes, doubled the icing recipe and stacked them. With icing in between both cakes, obviously. I cannot get over how easy and delicious this icing it. I personally, don’t like fondant and prefer to avoid icing sugar if I can use dates. I added it to the carrot cake without refrigerating it first and it was super creamy.
