WHIPPED CREAM FROSTINGS:
How about whipped cream frosting? I love it because it is not overly sweet. (or you could take the easy way out and use cool whip instead of whipped cream)
Easy Cool Whip Frosting
1 cup cold milk
1pkg instant pudding
1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional)
8oz cool whip, thawed
Combine milk, pudding and sugar.
Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes.
Gently stir in cool whip.
ANOTHER:
If you mix together 1 tub of ready made frosting with a large tub of cool whip it makes it creamer and less sweet.

LEMON FROSTINGS:
Lemon Frosting
3 tbsp. orange rind
Dash of salt
3 tbsp. butter
3 c. confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. Water
Add orange rind and salt to butter & cream well.
Add part of confectioners' sugar, with combined lemon juice and water to creamed mixture.
Add remaining sugar until proper consistency to spread.
This is a tangy, delicious frosting on pound cake.
Awesome Lemon Icing
Stir in a box of instant lemon pudding in a tub of cool whip and frosted a cake with it.
How DID you make it, several people asked?
I felt like flicking flour on my face like in the rice krispie bar commercial.

Peanut Butter Broiled Topping
