When you cook, you can improvise. When you bake, you need a recipe. However, when you want to make a new frosting, you can do a little of both. I was inspired to make sweet potato cream cheese frosting after looking in the fridge one morning. There was a baked sweet potato leftover from dinner, and greek cream cheese that was sent to me by Green Mountain Farms.
I used my blue KitchenAid hand mixer. [I love it, because it is light and not as noisy.]
