Storage and freezing
Storing- If you are making this a few days ahead, store the frosting completely covered in plastic wrap and place in the fridge. The frosting will get hard so take it out 30 minutes before you need it. Rewhip in the mixer if you need to. Cupcakes or cakes do not need to be refrigerated if they are topped with this frosting, unless the cake has fresh fruit it in. You always need to refrigerate a cake that has fresh fruit on or in it. Freezing- To freeze, wrap completely in plastic wrap and store in a ziptop bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Take the frosting out 1 hour before you need it or thaw overnight in the fridge. Rewhip it in the mixer when its mostly thawed out.Serving: 1portion, Calories: 274kcal, Carbohydrates: 34g, Protein: 0.3g, Fat: 16g, Saturated Fat: 10g, Polyunsaturated Fat: 1g, Monounsaturated Fat: 4g, Trans Fat: 1g, Cholesterol: 42mg, Sodium: 4mg, Potassium: 42mg, Fiber: 1g, Sugar: 32g, Vitamin A: 491IU, Vitamin C: 0.01mg, Calcium: 8mg, Iron: 0.1mg
