Birthday Cake Batter Extract Water Soluble

This rich and fluffy Birthday Cake Frosting (Bakery Style) delivers that nostalgic, classic birthday cake flavor thanks to high-quality Birthday Cake Flavoring. Butter is whipped until light, then combined with powdered sugar, heavy cream, and flavoring to create a smooth, creamy frosting that spreads beautifully onto cakes and cupcakes. Perfect for celebrations, this customizable frosting pipes well, holds its shape, and provides a sweet vanilla-butter flavor with that nostalgic sprinkle-cake aroma bakeries are known for.
