WHERE HAS CANDY CANE BUTTERCREAM BEEN ALL MY LIFE????? Wowza. I used my favorite buttercream frosting recipe from Sweetapolita, and added 3 teaspoons of the crushed and sifted candy canes. It’s life altering deliciousness. I recommend making it ASAP. Even if you aren’t making cake or cupcakes. Just make it and get a spoon. Seriously.
