What is Ermine Frosting I hear you cry? Well just the best damn buttercream thereis. Please make this recipe whenever you need frosting for anything, and potentially when you don’t. Traditionally, Red Velvet Cake is the best vehicle for frosting delivery to your mouth without the use of a spoon, but eat it however you see fit —no judgment from me.

The chocolate ermine frosting recipe is used in the Ombre Cake that now appears in The Baker's Dozen calendar for 2019. You will want this recipe, so go get your calendar now!

Double or quadruple at will, though you may need to add additional cooking time to the roux.

Thanks to Leisa Edl for this pic of her Unicorn cupcakes, using, you guessed it, this frosting recipe, but with a lot more style!
