On what should I put this icing?

[Tali]

My fellow Nerdfighters, I just found a really nice buttercream icing recipe, and am super excited to try it out, but I don't know what to put it on!
Cake? Cookies? Something else? Something creative? Something outlandish?

I need your suggestions below!

Place directly in mouth.

Perhaps by way of spoon.

[Tali]

Rest assured that some will follow that path.
However, the recipe yields over 2 cups, and I'm afraid more than a couple spoonfuls will put me in a sugary coma.

is it with real butter?

butter icing

butter, icing sugar

The butter breakdown is 1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening.
I like this much better than all butter is only because it gives me a purely white canvas for added colors, whereas all-butter recipes sometimes turn out a bit yellow-ish.

but butter tastes better and is healthier.

Never use anything but butter for a buttercream. The color will be a bit off, but you can still work with it and make good colors.
The recipe just won't be as creamy or taste as good if you use shortening.

[Tali]

Aww I already made it. It actually tastes quite delicious, but next time I'll make it with all butter and see how it goes.

i would suggest making a sandwich cake

Your hands?
Oatmeal cookies sandwiched with the frosting in between, those are great.
Graham crackers, same idea.
Something more savory like pretzels is also good.
Cupcakes.
