Sorry for the delayed post folks!

*COCONUT FROSTING
Makes about 3 Cups
Start to finish: 10 Minutes (FAST)

Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream
- 1 Tsp Coconut Extract
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch Salt
- 16 Tbs (2 Sticks) Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1/4 Cup Cream of Coconut
- 3 Cups Confectioners' Sugar

Directions:
1. Stir the cream, extracts and salt together until the salt dissolves.
2. Beat the butter and cream of coconut in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until smooth about 20 seconds. Reduce the speed to medium-low, Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth 2 to 5 minutes.
3. Beat in the cream mixture. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy about 4 to 8 minutes.

*FYI:
3 Cups Confectioners' Sugar is too sweet for me.
So, I reduce to 1 1/2 Cups to 2 Cups.

*To Make Ahead:
The frosting can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated, Wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Before using, Let stand at room temperature to soften then whisk briefly to re-luff.


And here's another frosting recipe.
This frosting should be spread on very thick.
Then swept into big, glossy swirl using the back of a spoon.
This recipe will make enough for a two-layer cake, a three-layer cake or two 9 by 13 inch sheet cakes.

*Test Kitchen Tip:
This classic frosting is more like glossy, snow-white meringue than frosting due to its fluffy, ethereal texture. And because of its unique cooking method, The recipe yields an ample amount. There is simply no way to halve or decrease it.
But that's' good, Because when you ice a cake with this frosting you really lay it on thick, Then fashion big pretty swirl. Depending on the cake you are icing, You may have some extra frosting.

*Making 7 Minutes Frosting:
The only way to make this magically fluffy, snow-white frosting is to whip it in bowl set over a double broiler. Its easiest though to set a large bowl over a pan shimmering water (Rather than use a double broiler) because the bowl provides more whipping room.
