I always bake pastry goods for my family, and they absolutely love the frosting I put on the cupcakes. My go-to frosting recipe is this chocolate frosting from Recipes by Carina on Youtube. I’m telling you, it’s absolutely delicious and decadent. Since I discovered this recipe, I have never looked back to other frostings as this really hits home for me. This only needs five ingredients and doesn’t even need an electric mixer; a good ol’ hand whisk is enough. It’s perfect for cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, or even slices. I used to make complicated frostings but not anymore since I discovered this recipe. So if you love pastries and looking for a good frosting recipe, you should try this out, you won’t regret it. Watch the video below to learn the step by step instructions. All thanks to Recipes by Carina for this wonderful recipe.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
