Homemade Frosting and Sauce Recipes

This is where I keep all the recipes that make everything else better. These homemade frosting and sauce recipes are the finishing touches that turn a good dessert into a great one, from the buttercream I put on nearly every cake I make to the hot fudge sauce I could eat with a spoon.

My Whipped Vanilla Buttercream Frosting is a site staple and goes on everything, and Easy Fudge Buttercream Frosting is the one I reach for on chocolate cakes. Don’t sleep on the Hot Fudge Sauce — it’s a game-changer on ice cream!
