My sons' favorite birthday cake is a basic chocolate cake with a chocolate cream cheese frosting that I developed myself. I have a Halloween part every year and the pumpkin bars always get eaten up. Sometimes I will decorate them with orange and black sprinkles as well. It's one of those frostings that most any beginning baker can handle, and be assured it's going to turn out like it's supposed to.Īround Halloween I love to make pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. Neither a carrot cake nor a red velvet cake would be the same without it, and it's also divine on a devil's food-type cake. Peppermint flavoring wouldn't work well, but chocolate, almond, butter, rum, almost anything else, will do well in a cream cheese frosting. It works well with nearly any kind of flavoring, as long as it doesn't clash with the tang of the cheese.
