Superhero Frosting Part 2: Magazine-worthy Dessert
We’re belatedly celebrating my neighbor and friend Marsha’s birthday with an old fashioned Good Friday fish fry. I had some Vanilla Buttercream Frosting left (a triple batch was too much for the cupcakes) so I offered to make dessert.
I thought a chocolate cake would be nice with the frosting, but knew I wouldn’t have enough for the entire cake so I’d planned to make another batch. Then I noticed some gorgeous strawberries on sale at the grocery store and figured I could probably make something work with them. I also bought a chocolate bar and made shavings with my vegetable peeler.
The result is stunning (if I may say so myself 
) …
The trick is Pampered Chef’s Easy Accent Decorator, which really is super easy to use. The hardest part of the whole thing was shaving the chocolate and honestly, the cake looked good enough without them that I almost didn’t use them.

This is why I don’t like to cook…because nothing I make ever looks this good. Would anyone like to see a photo of my ‘too-brown, angel food cake’ from this weekend?” No. They don’t. ‘nough said.
