This week my roommate and I took 'Cupcakes 101' at a cupcakery in our neighborhood, Butter Lane. We learned their classic buttercream recipes, variations of the classics, and how to decorate like the pros. The addition of cream cheese to each frosting makes it very light and not too sweet. Add this chocolate frosting to your recipe box to be used year-round. Stay tuned for variations of the classics!
