Hi !!
Here you go...I was trying to give a variety of flavors to choose from...ENJOY!!!
Swirl Frosting:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
1 (7 ounce) jar Marshmallow Crème
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine sugar, egg whites and water in a double boiler. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer over boiling water until soft peaks form. Add Marshmallow Creme. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Remove from heat and beat in vanilla extract.
Chocolate Swirl Frosting:
Melt and cool 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate. Fold into Swirl Frosting.
---------AND...
Strawberry Fluff Frosting:
1 egg white, unbeaten
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Dash of salt
2/3 cup sliced strawberries
Combine egg white, sugar, salt and 1/3 cup strawberries in top of double boiler and beat with rotary egg beater to mix. Place over rapidly boiling water, beat constantly with rotary beater, and cook 4 minutes or until mixture stands in peaks. Remove from boiling water, beat to cool and fold in remaining strawberries. Makes enough to spread between two 9-inch layers. To cover 13 x 9 x 2-inch cake, double recipe and beat 7 minutes instead of 4.
----------AND...
Cream Cheese Frosting:
9 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
Mix in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer. If necessary, add milk to make of spreading consistency.
---------AND...
Easy Caramel Frosting:
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
Dash of salt
1/4 cup whole milk
2 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir and cook until the mixture comes to a boil (about 2 minutes). Add milk, stir and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil, then remove the pan from the heat. Add the confectioners; sugar and vanilla extract and beat with a wooden spoon until the frosting is smooth.
Use immediately, while still warm, to frost the cake of your choice. It is a loose, pourable frosting when first made. If frosting hardens too much while you are frosting the cake, simply place the pan back over low heat and stir until the frosting softens up.
Makes enough to frost a 2- or 3-layer cake, or a 9 x 13-inch cake.
-------------AND...
Butterscotch Butter Frosting:
6 oz. pkg butterscotch morsels
1/3 cup milk
2 Tbs. butter

water. Add milk, butter, and salt. Beat until smooth. Gradually beat
in sugar until of spreading consistency.

Chocolate-Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting:
This homemade frosting has the richness of butter and the unexpected twist of cinnamon to add flavor depth to the chocolate. It makes enough to frost an 8- or 9-inch layer cake or a 13x9-inch sheet cake. Try it on chocolate, yellow or white cake.
Makes 24 (2-tablespoon) servings.

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 teaspoon McCormick? Pure Vanilla Extract
3 ounces (3 squares) unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
4 teaspoons McCormick? Ground Cinnamon
1 box (16 ounces) confectioners' sugar, sifted
4 tablespoons milk

2. Stir cinnamon into sifted sugar. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended after each addition, frequently scraping sides and bottom of bowl.
3. Add milk; beat until light and fluffy. If frosting is too thick to spread, gradually beat in additional milk. Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
