Cake Frosting Recipes





Lisa Gianotti This collection of cake frosting recipes started out small. But after posting my Italian cake recipes since Spring of 2009 - this collection began to grow.

I'm carving out a little section of frosting - to assist in the cause of good site organization. NOTHING is worse then having a craving and sitting on the edge of your stool to search for a recipe ONLY to get to a website where you can't find anything.

So - *poof* here's the little section. Devoted to the beauty of sugar. And the joy frosting brings.

I really do think the best part of the cake is the frosting. My mom was a health food freak and denied me a lot of frosting experiences. But then there was grandma. Grandma believed in sugar (and frosting). And I gravitated to grandma's idealisms in Italian dessert recipes. The creamier the better. The denser the better. Oh, and if it has alcohol - the better (See my Italian Drinks).

As a rebel (not necessarily going back to my roots) - I tend to create and concoct a ton of cake frosting recipes. I have to give credit to my grandmother though. She passed many of her Italian Dessert Recipes to me when she was alive. And then when she passed the family just handed me a ton of her cook books. We don't use frosting on any of our Italian cookie recipes. Well, I do have one, my ricotta cheese cookies, but it has an optional glaze. So, for the most part these frostings are used on my Italian cakes collection. Thanks for stopping by -

Lisa Gianotti March Madness

In the US we go crazy over college basketball during the middle of March. This is called "March Madness"

There are parties. Get-togethers. Friendly wagering. And maybe not-so-friendly-wagering.

All I know, it's another reason to drink and eat. One of my favorite LOW STRESS drinks are my sangria recipes.

  • It's a make-ahead. (See how to make sangria)
  • it uses different fruits (see white sangria recipe vs the old-school best sangria recipe)
  • you don't have to use an expensive wine!


    • The best way to have a good time is to NOT do everything at the last minute. I have a few "new" recipes that you can make the day ahead also:

    Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe

    Cornflake Cookies

    and the traditional Italian cookie recipes always work like the Anisette Cookies
