We don’t know about you guys, but for us the best part of the cake or cupcake is the frosting! Do you agree?

So rich, creamy, sweet and incredibly delicious. You can do so many different flavous, and it really does make or break a cake or cupcake. Just imagine it without frosting, oh my.

Not that there’s anything wrong with diving into a classic piece of cake, especially when you are enjoying yourself at a party or a night out. However, now that one of us over here is a mom, finding new and creative ways to get veggies into our diets (as well as our kiddos) is a mission!

When there’s a will, there’s a way to make a recipe a little bit more nutrient dense, and a little less sugar-packed.

Betty Crocker and your corn syrup, polysorbate 60, artificial flavors and colors, move your butt over and get out of the way. This recipe is SO unbelievably simple, and tastes so much better, lady! We’re totally in for this chocolate icing made with sweet potatoes.
