I love love love cupcakes with buttercream frosting as long as the frosting is really nicely done. I hate when it's really sickly. I also have a huge gripe at bakers who put on TOO MUCH FROSTING.
I like there to be a good cake to frosting ratio, and when there is more frosting than cake it is ALL WRONG and makes me really mad. I hate too much frosting especially on carrot cake. The cake is amazing and beautiful and moist with lots of flavour why would you bury it in cream cheese frosting?! A little coating is fine, but a lot of the time if I buy carrot cake out I have to scrape half of the frosting off.
This week I've had mega craving for frosting so I might make cupcakes tomorrow with fresh buttercream!
Who else loves frosting?
