Cardamom Cream Cheese Frosting
So silky and creamy, our Cardamom Cream Cheese Frosting will become the crowning glory for your cupcakes or cakes. This frosting is subtly spiced with the warmth of ground cardamom, along with a touch of fresh citrus to brighten the flavor. Our recipe is so easy to whip up, and seriously addicting! After tasting it you’ll likely want to find an excuse to make it again for all your other bakes! Originally created as a frosting for our Kumquat Cupcakes, this recipe also complements the flavors of many other cakes.
Kumquat Cupcakes
These Kumquat Cupcakes have such a bright and fruity, burst-in-your-mouth flavor that hits you on the first bite! They are a little sweet and a little tart, and so very tasty. For the perfect complement, they are topped with a delectable cardamom cream cheese frosting that is seriously addicting. These yummy cupcakes have a unique citrusy flavor that tastes like spring!
