Review of the new choose your flavor icing

I make my own icing but I am up visiting my parents for Easter and my mom was making cupcakes.  We ended up buying the orange Dunkin Hines cake mix, a tub of the icing you can flavor, and the orange cream flavoring.  Overall the cost was not bad.  At winn-dixie it was $2.29 for the tub of icing which was bigger than the $1.98 tubs. The flavor packets where $.99 and had a ton of yummy sounding flavors including cinnamon roll and strawberry something.

The Orange Cream flavoring tasted just like a dreamsicle. Everyone loved them!


Note: this icing did not harden up over time and actually slid off the cupcakes the next day.  Not sure if it was the humid weather that we have all the time here in Florida or what but I know that I was enjoying my cupcake and all of a sudden the icing slid off into my hand.

Easy Chocolate Icing

Ingredients:
3tbsp butter
1oz semi-sweet chocolate (can use unsweet too)
1c powder sugar
2tbsp milk
pinch of salt
2-3tbsp cocoa powder


In a saucepan melt 1oz semi-sweet chocolate and butter on low heat.  I just waited till the chocolate was "squishy" and did not spread it around as I wanted most of the chocolate to go into my recipe.

Stir butter and chocolate into powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth. (I used my Kitchenaid to mix)
Add milk as needed to make a creamier consistency.


NOTE: any left over icing can be eaten as fudge.  I put it in the fridge not knowing what was going to happen and looked at it after 24 hours and it was hard like fudge and tasted so good!

I left the cake out with this icing and it did not melt.
