The first time we made chocolate buttercream frosting was during our first year of marriage. The recipe was from a French cookbook that we bought. We do not remember the name of the book or the author but we cannot forget the first layer cake we made. We spent hours baking the cake, preparing the frosting, and decorating the cake, only to have it topple over and land on the floor! Take heart, we also had our share of kitchen disasters, but we are not ones to give up easily and we believe there is always another day.

As some of you have noticed, we are trying to use as few kitchen gadgets as possible and to use ingredients that are readily available to most of our readers and viewers. Gadgets make life easier but you do not need a fancy mixer to prepare great desserts. That is why you see us using a wire whisk so no one will use the lack of a mixer as an excuse for not preparing this delicious chocolate frosting and ganache.
