Here’s the uplifting part: Frosting is a celebration. It’s the glitter on the donut of life. It’s the reason people smile at birthday parties. So don’t let a little spoilage scare you away from the good stuff. Buy fresh. Make fresh. Share it with friends.
And when in doubt, just make a new batch. Because life is too short for sad, expired buttercream. You deserve frosting that makes you do a little happy dance, not a hesitant eyebrow raise. So go ahead—slather that cake, lick the spoon, and enjoy every sweet, glorious bite. You’ve earned it.
