Cardamom Cream Cheese Frosting
So silky and creamy, our Cardamom Cream Cheese Frosting will become the crowning glory for your cupcakes or cakes. This frosting is subtly spiced with the warmth of ground cardamom, along with a touch of fresh citrus to brighten the flavor. Our recipe is so easy to whip up, and seriously addicting! After tasting it you’ll likely want to find an excuse to make it again for all your other bakes! Originally created as a frosting for our Kumquat Cupcakes, this recipe also complements the flavors of many other cakes.
Easy Perfectly Plum Jam
This fresh, perfectly plum jam is quick and easy and done in less than one hour. It’s amazing on toast, waffles, yogurt, and even better served slightly warm as a topping on vanilla bean ice cream.
