My mom used to bake cakes for family functions and also work functions. People would beg her to make cakes and she would make frosting. I'd help her make the frosting and it was actually one thing she never had to worry about me dipping into.
(She made all sorts of frosting, and none of them I cared for)
My secret vice #5,280: brownies are ok with the frosting but divine without it! I just love to bite through the crust into the interior! From time to time Whole Foods has the most glorious cream cheese brownies with the cream cheese mixed into the body of the brownie itself and no frosting. Then for the longest time they don't have them; then last time I was there they had trayloads of them again, this time with cherries mixed in, and since I'm no overwhelming fan of cherries under any circumstances, and adding them to brownies is heresy, I backed off. Probably for the better in the name of the diet, but am I going to regret it for the rest of my life?
I think that is why I took up cake decorating years ago. I could make my own scrumptious frosting and eat all of my "mistakes". I can't begin to count the number of frosting flowers I consumed over the years. UGH - the thought of eating frosting out of a shot glass makes me gag now.
Well, I don't eat cake that often, and frosting even less. Sounds like a divine treat for me. Cake decorating you say? Wonder if there's a market for cakes made from a box with gourmet frosting in Alpine?

Wow,
That would sooooooooo be up my alley. Frosting shots, yum- yum! I will admit it here, my favorite dessert is white wedding cake, birthday cake with sweet buttercream frosting, the thicker the better! I always get a corner piece because it has the most frosting, and heck ya I take a piece in the middle too with all the high frosting flowers, and most people will give me the frosting off of their pieceof cake too, that is how much I like frosting! I have a lil cake with my frosting if you will.......
I would love to have a shot of frosting, **** ya and only $1.50, S-W-E-E-T! On special occasions, my hubby surprises me with a miniature white cake covered in sweet buttercream frosting or a few sugar cookies with the same thick frosting, man they are my favorite and I still eat them occasionally when I need my frosting fix so to speak, everything in moderation yanno. And ahem, just for the record none of that coolwhip crap frosting for me, bleh!
If I ever come across one of these frosting shots in my travels, I can almost guarantee, I will be booty up to the bakery bar for a shot of frosting, I can bet my sweet @ss on that one! I'll just have to workout a lil longer after eating the straight up frosting, but damn, it sounds pretty S-W-E-E-T to me!
Angie was on her way to see her mom when I posted this. I told her about it when she called to say she was there safe.
She started cracking up! She saw an episode of REBA the other day (you would have to know the show to appreciate this) ~ seems Jake was caught by Van sneaking frosting out of a can with his fingers...Van said "that's no way to eat frosting" He then proceeded to get out a loaf of bread and make a frosting sandwich
Sorry, too many flashbacks on this one -- not a big frosting eater. Besides, how do you get it out of the shot glass? I like my shots to pour nicely into my mouth (and provide a little kick!!)
When I was little (probably 1 to 2) my sister was caught eating a can of frosting with a spoon (which had been for my other sister's B'day cake). Before my parent's could catch her -- she apparently smeared the frosting on her spoon across my lips and put the can in my lap and my gulible parents believed that I did it!!!
My grandma actually eats peanut butter sandwiches with chocolate frosting. I admit, the frosting shots don't sound that bad to me, but I've NEVER been able to try her sandwiches. And I love chocolate and peanut butter!
I'd do a "frosting shot"...mmmmmm...especially Publix Buttercream....it's making my mouth salivate right now. Maybe I need to go visit the "food porn" thread...
Mmmm, love frosting! But what I love even more than frosting is the gooey moist cake stuff that sticks to the bottom of the pan after the cake is eaten. When being served cake I always go for the piece with the most frosting, especially the flowers, etc. on the cake!
