1.The mint buttercream frosting
- First all the ingredients that you need can basically be some from the market you mostly have to put them together.
- Start with buttercream that you can buy in a pack
- Then comes a few drops of green food colour
- Use some peppermint extract post this and avoid using mint extract because the two happen to have different tastes and the latter is not preferable
- Then you need a chocolate you like to chop them finely and add to the freshly made frosting
- You can use fairly milk, Lindt, Hershey or any other chocolate you deem fit based on how hard or soft do you like your chocolate in the frosting or the cake overall.
