The raw egg white frosting does have a nice consistency for piping (and I need all the help I can get)!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692999404326628908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-49931851554085852352012-02-14T10:53:10.026-05:002012-02-14T10:53:10.026-05:00Susan, I am so glad I found your blog.

I didn't see your reply about the frosting in time so I made my old standby butter cream frosting. I only had supermarket eggs anyway. Your frosting looked much nicer though.rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569309947823254514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-3765442882115112112012-02-13T20:33:18.964-05:002012-02-13T20:33:18.964-05:00Hi, rabbit.

I usually get them from an egg farmer at our local farmer's market or buy the organic ones (or at the very least, the cage-free ones) at the grocery store. If you don't feel comfortable with the raw eggs, a plain buttercream would work well with this, as would the gravy icing that's on my blog (just search Betty's Chocolate Cake). Let me know how the cupcakes turn out!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692999404326628908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-62649912846598367492012-02-13T20:26:20.004-05:002012-02-13T20:26:20.004-05:00Thanks, Margi.

Usually.
