I have about 2 lbs of buttercream frosting

There was so much icing on the cake, I took all of the decorations off. There is still plenty of icing on the cake.

I just wondered if there are any recipes I could mix the icing into, or should I just toss it?

Thanks!

I saw gooey cake listed on foodtimeline.org
and have wanted to make one. Everybody here is low carb, g.f. (including me!) so I haven't. I hate to waste it. Thank you

Use it in any recipe requiring both.

It was thoughtful of my kids to celebrate my birthday. I would have been happy with a small selection of macrons

no recipe, but they turned out ok. I've got more frosting than cake. I will prob. freeze the frosting for now, and decide later, after I come down from my sugar high

I will add one thing:

freeze it in freezer bags in small quantities. That way you can take it out, enjoy just a little, and not mess up your blood sugar for a long time. Also affect your annual A1C, etc.

Buy those tea biscuits and use it as frosting on them when you want a dessert and don't have anything else in the house.
