Tip du jour

Recently I have been eating dairy free to help my baby's tummy. In doing so, I have deeply missed chocolate. Then I remembered something...there is no dairy in canned frosting! I remembered that I had some left over chocolate frosting in the fridge (don't judge) so I had a teaspoon full just to take the edge off. And then I remembered this wonderful tip to frostings:

In order to get that smoothness that you would get from a wonderful frosting (whether from the can or bakery), add 1-2 tablespoons of corn syrup when you are making your frosting. It will help the powdered sugar break down without dissolving, which makes it smoother and eliminates that "powdered sugar" taste.
