Notes

This is an amazing alternative to buttercream frosting.  I first came across this in a packaged cake mix I found at HEB.  It was amazing, so I had to find it, and I did.  What a weird name, and it sounds really really weird also, but it's just the right amount of sweetness, and not completely saturated with butter.
