Notes
Feel free to modify the ingredients, such as using coconut milk for a tropical flavor or adding a splash of rum or citrus zest for extra flair. Ensure that your frosting is done patiently to avoid a runny consistency. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze for longer storage. Always thaw in the fridge before serving to enhance flavor and texture. If you're not confident in your frosting skills, remember that practice makes perfect! Even if it doesn’t look like a bakery cake, it still tastes delicious. Enjoy the baking journey!
