This icing recipe was a perfect match for the carrot cake I baked. I decided to switch things up by opting for confectioners sugar instead of the usual cream cheese frosting that most carrot cake recipes recommend. This adjustment worked out beautifully, and I'm sure it would be a fantastic option for those who are lactose intolerant. Highly recommended!

This product is basically just sweetened whipped cream. I've noticed that a lot of Black Forest cakes use a stabilized whipped cream instead. While this option is convenient when you're short on time, I'll be looking for a more resilient frosting to use for decorating future Black Forest cakes.
