Homemade can be so rewarding!

As many food allergy families know (read a little more about our story), making things from scratch can be a fun adventure! Sometimes simply grabbing an easy-pre-made item from the store isn’t possible depending on your allergies due to known allergens being included or cross contamination being a concern.

There’s been many times we’ve just decided to make whatever that item was ourselves from scratch, using safe ingredients we trust, to add a level of security and be more able to just relax and enjoy. Instead of grabbing ready-made items from the store, we get to be creative and experiment in the kitchen, making safe and delicious meals and treats that cater to our specific needs.

Despite the extra time and effort, for food allergy families, it’s a chance to take control of their food choices, and the end result is always worth it. Many times homemade is even the healthiest option for the whole family! So, embrace the adventure, and enjoy the delicious rewards of cooking and baking from scratch!

But, back to frosting!

Cream cheese frosting is so popular because it’s incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for topping cakes, cupcakes and muffins, and can also be used as a delicious filling for layer cakes, or as a dip for fruit or cookies.

Cream cheese frosting is also surprisingly easy to make. All you need is some cream cheese, butter, sugar, flavoring and a bit of patience.

The best part is you can customize this frosting to suit your tastes. If you want something a bit tangy, add some lemon juice or zest. If you’re looking for something a bit more decadent, add some melted chocolate — the possibilities are endless.

So many possibilities!

But that’s not all! Cream cheese frosting isn’t just for dessert. It can also be used as a dip for fruit, a spread for bagels, or even a topping for cheesecake. The options are endless, and trust us, once you start using it, you won’t be able to stop.

When it comes to making cream cheese frosting, the key is to take your time and get the consistency just right. You’ll want the mixture to be light, fluffy and spreadable, so don’t be afraid to play around with the amounts of butter, sugar and cream cheese until you get it just right.

So, if you’re looking for a way to take your cakes and cupcakes to the next level, don’t forget about cream cheese frosting. It’s easy to make, endlessly customizable and will make any dessert taste amazing. Enjoy!
