I made this recipe, but with 1 addition. I added 2 T heavy cream and whipped the frosting on medium speed for 2 minutes which made the frosting very fluffy and delicious.
The recipe is very good (I used my own homemade salted caramel sauce) but no way does it make 3 cups, or enough to ice 24 cupcakes. I have 5 unfrosted cupcakes and I didn’t pile the icing on. I did the ‘rose’ look using the Wilton 1M tip.
