Another dessert for Secret Recipe Club, there is something about going through all the recipes on a blog and seeing post after post of beautiful sweet treats.
Affogato, Italian for "drown," is a description normally reserved for ice cream doused in espresso. Here we take that same principle and swap out the espresso...
I use this recipe when making my rose cake, my hydrangea cake, or any cake that I want the frosting to be able to hold its shape! This makes quite a bit, but can be refrigerated quite easily. And yes, I sometimes use half crisco/half butter. This recipe is SWEET. Super sweet.
