cream cheese and mascarpone frosting
No Image
I was looking for a way to update plain old cream cheese frosting. I thought, bet you can use mascarpone. After some searching, I found this recipe on Epicurious.com. It was meant for Red Velvet cupcakes - I'm not a fan of Red Velvet anything, but decided this would be the perfect update for my Grandma Beck's Carrot Cake.
