Buttercream frosting that's so good it might not make it to the cake. White chocolate with almond and vanilla extract gives a heavenly aroma and flavor to this buttery frosting.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I love this shortcut recipe but I find that it seprates. I am going to try to cook the pudding to really, really thick and see if it works better, I had to refrigerate the iced cake because it was really thin and runny. Any hints?
