Creating the Perfect Play Date Snack With Pumpkin and Cool Whip Frosting Every year I wait in anticipation for Fall to arrive. No, it's not for the cooler weather. I

wouldn't kid myself with that in Southern California (it's in the high 80s this week). I

love Fall for the pumpkin! And as soon as canned pumpkin hits the shelves I hoard it

so that I have an awesome supply to last the rest of the year. And every year I try to

test out a new pumpkin recipe to add to the list of recipes I know and love. And after a

few minutes perusing Pinterest, Kraft recipes and my favorite recipe blogs I decided I'd

tackle a pumpkin bar recipe.

Pumpkin bars not only need to be amazingly moist and tast as they also need to be

topped with an equally tasty frosting. Normally I would go with my go-to cream cheese

buttercream but I thought this recipe might be better with a lighter, fluffier frosting. This

is where Cool Whip's new Cool Whip Frosting came into play.

Since I love Cool Whip on my pumpkin pie I was sure my guests would love the

Vanilla Cool Whip Frosting on the pumpkin bars.

Caramel Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cool Whip Cream Cheese FrostingI am going to let you in on a little secret. Did you know that Cool Whip now has

Cool Whip Frosting? Gasp! I have mentioned before that I can easily eat Cool Whip

straight from the container, so is it true for their frosting? Yes! Unbelievably delicious!

They are carrying Cream Cheese, Vanilla, and Chocolate; all of which are located

right next to the regular Cool Whip at the store. As soon as I saw the options I

immediately knew that I wanted to use the cream cheese on top of my Caramel

Pumpkin Cupcakes. The result was the most delicious cupcake ever, of course!

Celebrate the Everyday Once I learned about the new Kraft Cool Whip Frosting I couldn’t

wait to try it. Wow, was I impressed. The new Cool Whip Frosting is

thick, and creamy. It has a much denser texture than Cool Whip but

lighter and fluffier than the standard can of frosting you might be used

to. And it tastes wonderful. It’s not too sweet. It pipes on a cupcake

perfectly.

It glides out of a piping tip and holds its shape on top of a cupcake.

It also does not start to melt like a homemade frosting does in

room temperature.

It is my favorite new frosting. I may never buy another brand or make

homemade again. I actually have three more containers in the freezer.

So the next time you want to put a smile on the face of one of your

cutie patooties grab a container of the new Cool Whip Frosting and

give it a try yourself. There will be smiles all around.

Raspberry Filled Gourmet Cupcakes The Cool Whip Frosting worked absolutely beautifully for this style

of cupcake! The frosting is light and fluffy enough to give a great

appearance and not too thick to weigh down the cupcake or the

look. In Fact when J., my 8 year old saw the cupcakes his first

words were, "It looks like ice cream!" And low and behold, he was

right! It really does look like soft serve ice cream you get out of

those fun machines!

What I loved about the Cool Whip Frosting is the flavor! It was

very light, fluffy, smooth, and yet it wasn't overpowering. It had the

perfect level of sweetness. Not too rich yet not bland. I had more

than just my kids tasting these cupcakes.

What I really loved about the Cool Whip Frosting is how easy it

was to work with. It is stored in the freezer, but you simply thaw it

in the fridge for 4 hours or on the counter for one hour before use.

Then it is completely ready to be used right away without any need

to do anything else. It definitely was a time saver; and even better

is that it's the closest I've ever come to finding a substitute for

whipped frosting!

Celebrate the Everyday With Cool Whip Frosting I decided to make Choco-pumpkin cupcakes with

a caramel drizzle. They are so delish…you can’t sit

still and eat them…mostly because of this yummy

new frosting. I didn’t stop there though; I created a

beautiful fall parfait with the same ingredients…

Cool Whip is a name we all grew up with.

Everybody knows how good Cool Whip is on

pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. Well, imagine all

that creamy cool goodness plumped up to the

consistency of icing. Thick, but not greasy like

buttery icings, it literally melts in your mouth. We

found vanilla and chocolate at our Walmart.

Ooey Gooey Cake With Cool Whip FrostingLately we have been making cupcakes for everyone’s birthday, but

for my birthday this year we decided to make a cake. This is one of

my family’s favorite dessert recipes ~ Ooey Gooey Cake made with

Cool Whip Frosting.

We usually use regular Cool Whip for the “frosting,” but I just heard

that Cool Whip has Cool Whip Frosting available at Walmart. Yum! I

wanted try it out so I headed to Walmart to pick some up.

Celebrating with Cool Whip Frosting Because Fall is here and I love seasonal flavors, I chose a Pumpkin Cupcake

recipe to make. This one is super easy because it uses a boxed mix base with

only a few added ingredients. My kids love decorating their own cupcakes, but

I made it a special treat for my son to help me make them.

The Cool Whip Frosting is so easy to use! Just take it out and let it thaw on

the counter. I used some to pipe onto my cupcakes with a zip lock bag. Just

snip off a corner and gently squeeze. Since this was a simple everyday treat

I didn't feel the need to even get out the decorating tips. I am thrilled at the

frosting consistency. It was easy to mound and pipe.

The result? The frosting was a lighter and not overly sweet alternative to the

traditionally heavy and rice version. I loved how it had the light taste and feel

of regular Cool Whip topping.

Pumpkin Cake and Celebrating Everyday OccasionsWhen I was recently invited to create a cake to celebrate an

“everyday family occasion” using new Cool Whip Frosting, I knew

instantly what I wanted to do. I wanted to make a cake to celebrate

our amazing kids.

The kids knew I was baking a Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese

Frosting.

Once the cake was completely cooled, I frosted it with the Cool

Whip Frosting. It was light and fluffy and spread easily on the cake.

I was concerned that one tub might not be enough for my cake, so

I bought two tubs to be safe, but one tub was definitely more than

enough for this pumpkin bundt cake.

Milk Chocolate Mocha Cupcakes To frost the cupcakes, I used a new frosting that I bought at Walmart

called Cool Whip Frosting. There were only 2 flavors available at the

Walmart that I visited, which were chocolate and vanilla; but from what I

saw online there is also a cream cheese flavor available.

I am so delighted with this new Cool Whip Frosting! It was easy to pipe

on and it tastes delicious. I can't wait to try out the other flavors. It also

held up really well, which is good to know. These cupcakes had to sit out

to be photographed and were transported here and there. All the while,

the frosting kept its shape.

So, what did my family think? The cupcakes were a huge hit and I had

the opportunity to share. First, Christine tried a cupcake before leaving

for work. After school, I picked up Zack and my nephew so they each

got a cupcake. Then, we stopped by my mom's house and she had two

additional nephews at her house so all three of them got a cupcake.

Next, Vanessa arrived at grandma's house so she had a cupcake.

Once we left grandma's, we stopped back home to pick up some more

cupcakes which we sent home with my nephew for my sister and two of

my nieces. Finally, later in the evening we stopped by our friend’s house

to visit for a couple of hours and we brought them cupcakes! Everyone

agreed that the Milk Chocolate Mocha Cupcakes were delicious!

Low Calorie Shrimp Cupcakes With Lime Dill Cool Whip FrostingCool Whip is one of the splurges my diet center allows me to have.

Compared to most sweet things, it is relatively low in calories and

comes in lite and fat free. I knew I would be able to create a cupcake

masterpiece using the Cool Whip brand. The Cool Whip Cream Cheese

Frosting only had 30 calories per Tablespoon which was the perfect

amount to top my Shrimp Cupcakes. If I would have made it the

traditional way, the frosting alone would have had more calories than the

entire finished cupcake I created.

Celebrating Everyday Occasions With Brownie CupcakesFor a while now, I’ve wanted to make brownies into cupcakes. But

brownies are so sweet that topping them with regular icing is just a sugar

overload. But what about Cool Whip, I thought? That is what I would

normally put on top of brownies, right? And the idea began to knit itself

together in my head. So I grabbed my brownie mix, threw in into the cart

and headed for the frozen section. Once there, I located the Cool Whip.

But regular Cool Whip would not do for this creation! We had to have

something special. And there it was – Cool Whip Frosting!

With three amazing flavors to choose from – cream cheese, vanilla and

chocolate – it would be the perfect cool topping to our gooey brownie

cupcakes!

And I have to admit, the Cool Whip Frosting was what completely made

the dessert! It was light and fluffy and completely decadent! In fact, Miller

Bug licked all the frosting off of his cupcake and didn’t even want to eat

the cupcake! And while the brownies were great, the frosting was what

stole the show! In fact, J-Man passed up seconds on the cupcakes and

instead opted for something that I hardly ever let him do – eat straight

frosting out of the icing bag!

Lyuba Brooke

Apple Caramel Cupcakes With Cool Whip This was the first time that I used store-bought frosting. I loved it!

I have been taking bites of this frosting and dipping apples and

strawberries in it, even after the cupcake.

I found this frosting while shopping at Walmart. There are three

different kinds: vanilla, cream cheese and chocolate. I got vanilla

and cream cheese to try and I am definitely going back for the

chocolate!

Celebrating with Dulce de Leche Cupcakes & Cool Whip FrostingWhen it comes to holidays and special occasions, I usually make my own

cakes or other desserts from scratch. But for a weeknight celebration, I'm

more than happy to go "semi-homemade." For this recipe, I picked up the

new light and fluffy Cool Whip Frosting:

If you're a regular reader, you know I did some prep work ahead of time

by making my homemade dulce de leche for filling the cupcakes. I suggest

making that the night before, or at least in the morning so it has time to cool.

The rest of the recipe comes together fairly quickly.

The rich dulce de leche goes perfectly with the light, airy Cool Whip

Frosting. For me, it tastes like the "whipped" frosting they use on bakery

cakes.

Baking With MommyJudah has been mommy's little helper around the house lately. He

insists on using the broom, helping feed the dogs and following

behind me as I do laundry. He loves making sure his sister has a

blanket and always gives her a paci when she's crying. With all the

help he's been giving me I wanted to figure out something fun we

could do together that would also be a treat for being so awesome. I

love baking so I decided that we could make cupcakes! I headed out

to Walmart and picked up some mix, the new Cool Whip Frosting and

some sprinkle decorations to top them off.

I love using Cool Whip Frosting; it is super yummy and is really light

and fluffy! I mixed the cream cheese flavor with a few drops of blue

and green coloring.

Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes With Cool Whip Frosting Because it is Fall, and I have pumpkin on the brain ALL. THE.

TIME., I decided to go with the cream cheese frosting. Oh so tasty

it is. I would love to just dip graham crackers in it for a snack, but

I have something even better for you: Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes with

Cool Whip Frosting!!

The Cream Cheese Cool Whip Frosting atop these little babies was

the perfect way to complete them! I couldn’t believe how delicious

this frosting is, and it’s pre-made!

Easy Triple Berry Cupcakes I had an idea to use the berries we loved from our summer inside

of a cupcake and then I'd top it with a new frosting I'd heard

about, Cool Whip Frosting. I checked out the Cool Whip Facebook

page the other day and was reading all the comments from

people who have tried it out. It sounds delicious and I just had to

get my hands on some for a cake; so off to the store I went.

I had a plan in my head to make a triple berry cupcake. I knew

that Walmart would have the ingredients I needed at a good

price. I found everything I needed and more. The Cool Whip

Frosting was easy to find in the freezer section, right by the pies

and desserts. I love shopping at Walmart because they always

have what I need, and my money goes a long way there.

I love how the cupcakes I made turned out! On the top is a

delectable red strawberry Jell-O and then on top of that is a

creamy sweet ring of new Cool Whip Frosting in the Cream

Cheese flavor (it contains real cream cheese).

Celebrating Everyday Moments With Peanut Butter CupcakesThis week, we celebrated with easy peanut butter cupcakes topped with

Cool Whip Frosting.

To make these cupcakes, I simply took a boxed cake mix, followed the

directions, and then mixed in 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter. Bake according

to time on the box, allow the cupcakes to cool, and then finish off with the

delicious Cool Whip Frosting.

I had no idea Cool Whip Frosting existed until last week, but I am so glad

I’m no longer in the dark. I found chocolate and vanilla flavors of Cool Whip

Frosting at Walmart. The kids like both flavors. I think the chocolate tastes

like chocolate ice cream, but my favorite is definitely the vanilla Cool Whip

Frosting. It reminds me of whipped frosting from a bakery and I’ll definitely

be purchasing it from here on out.

So what did we celebrate this week?

Fun preschool activities.

A new haircut for mama.

Planning our fall activities.

Racing on trikes in the driveway.

A hardworking husband.

The WEEKEND. Enough said.

Mandarin Orange Cake With Pineapple Cool Whip FrostingDanika started preschool this year and I can’t believe she is already 4

years old and riding the bus to school 2 full days a week! To celebrate her

starting preschool we decided to have our own little party with mandarin

orange cake and pineapple Cool Whip Frosting! It’s an everyday occasion

worth celebrating! I headed to Walmart with the kids to see if I could find

the new Cool Whip Frosting!

An Everyday CelebrationWe were SO PROUD of our girls as they had a great first day of

Kindergarten. It’s been a month, and everything has been going so smoothly.

I think back to that first day of preschool and I marvel at how far they’ve

come. So when I was asked to create a cake with Cool Whip Frosting for

an everyday celebration, I knew their Kindergarten Victory was definitely

something worth celebrating!

So the girls went shopping with me at Walmart to pick up some Cool Whip

Frosting. They chose chocolate:

I had planned to make a layer cake, but the girls decided they wanted their

own individual cakes. I wish I had bought smaller pans so the cakes wouldn’t

be so flat! Oh well, this detail wasn’t important to the girls.

There was enough frosting in the container for both cakes and some left over.

So if you were going to layer the cakes, it would be enough for one cake. The

frosting was really light and fluffy, which we really enjoyed. And I loved that it

was ready to go, right out of the container. And the most important part is that

it tasted really good. The consistency was like homemade chocolate whipped

cream.

This was definitely a special day, and it was great to see the pride in my girls’

faces as we commended them for a great start to their school life. Thanks

Cool Whip Frosting for helping us create another warm memory.

Great Day Cupcakes Recently, my four year old, L, had a great day at Preschool. He

has been having a tough time adjusting to being in a classroom,

so it was reason to celebrate. We whipped up these "Great Day"

cupcakes. It was also a great excuse to try out the new Cool Whip

Frosting... yum!

After baking the cupcakes, we let them cool. Applying frosting to

warm cupcakes isn't usually a good idea - it will often melt the

frosting and slip right off! While the cupcakes cooled, I grabbed

the Cool Whip Frosting. This is new and tastes exactly how you

would think the love child of Cool Whip and frosting would taste!

My favorite cupcakes as a kid always had a heaping mound of

frosting on them. This is easy to do with the Cool Whip Frosting!

Just grab a spoon and pile it on! The fluffy texture lends itself well

to mountains of frosting... yum! Of course we had to add sprinkles.

And adding sprinkles is serious business!

Pink Champagne CupcakesToday is Day 5 of “31 Days of Pink” and I was asked to create a special

treat for an everyday occasion! So I created my Pink Champagne

Cupcake with the new Cool Whip Frosting!

I made the cake mix with the ingredients called for on the box with

one exception. I made 1 cup of the Champagne Punch and used that

in place of the water and I added PINK food coloring. This gave it a

nice mild Champagne flavor and a pretty PINK color. I baked them

according to the directions for cupcakes.

I took the Cool Whip Frosting and added PINK gel color and gently

folded it into the frosting making sure not to over beat it. It came out a

beautiful shade of PINK!

Cherish The Little Things In LifeOn our recent trip to Walmart, I discovered Cool Whip Frosting, which can be found in

the frozen food section. Knowing I wanted to make pumpkin cupcakes for our Friday

night baking date with my daughter, I picked up a couple containers to try out.

My quick recipe involves just three ingredients; well now four because I’ll always

make it with Cool Whip Frosting. It took literally minutes for my daughter and me to

make our muffins.

Make sure you’re happy with how the muffins look as they are going into the oven.

Because when they come out, they pretty much look the same. That’s one of the

reasons why Cool Whip Frosting works so well with these muffins. The frosting is so

thick that you can spread over the top of the muffin evenly and no one has to know

how lumpy and bumpy your muffin tops really are!

Celebrating Fall Days Everyday I decided to make a cake just to celebrate the gorgeous fall days we have been

having lately, and to remind myself to try and find little things to celebrate in the

everyday moments of my life.

This was the perfect opportunity for me to try the new Cool Whip Frosting I have been

hearing all about. My family loves Cool Whip on desserts and hot chocolate, so I

was pretty certain we were going to like Cool Whip Frosting too! Chocolate frosting is

always my favorite as I love chocolate! This chocolate flavored frosting is made with

real Dutch Cocoa, and all the flavors are whipped.

Do you celebrate the fall season with special plans or recipes? Cool Whip frosting can

help you make an easy dessert, and put a little more celebration into your everyday.

Frosted Pumpkin Spice CupcakesCraving pumpkin after today’s big Sunday family dinner? We were too, so

we whipped up a quick batch of mini-cupcakes and topped them with the

new Cool Whip Frosting [sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice] and added a

sweet pumpkin marshmallow.

Each Sunday we splurge on dessert and this week’s after-dinner-treat did

not disappoint! Gotta love Walmart, our one-stop-shop to pick up everything

we needed to make this delicious little number. We snagged cake mix,

pumpkin mallows, pumpkin pie spice and the new Cool Whip Frosting in the

yummy cream cheese flavor, [also in chocolate & vanilla].

You guys, this is the easiest dessert! From start to finish you’ll have a

beautiful batch of mini-cupcakes that took like they took a lot longer to

make. Topping it off with Cool Whip Frosting makes a simple recipe look

simply gourmet:

Carrot Cupcakes It was General Conference weekend this week, which for all you non-LDS folks

means that all of our major church leaders speak to the entire LDS population

via TV and satellite broadcast.

It’s also a great time because we get together with lots of family and have huge

dinners. It’s seriously like a pre-Thanksgiving. And I’m not kidding because I

had two turkey dinners yesterday: one for lunch and one for dinner. And I was in

charge of making dessert. I thought it would be a great occasion to make some

carrot cupcakes with Cool Whip Cream Cheese Frosting.

These are very easy, very fast, and impressive to look at! They are the best type

of desserts. First you make the cake (I just used a carrot cake mix). After they

have completely cooled off, I used a spoon to dig out a little hole out of each

cupcake.

To fill the cupcakes, I spooned the cream cheese frosting into a zip lock baggy

and cut off the corner. Then I squeezed some cream cheese into each hole and

then a little on top. Then I shaved a little carrot onto the top to make it pretty.

Easy as that!

Five Ingredient Pumpkin CupcakesSo let's get started baking with just five ingredients. Oh yes, that is all you

will need for these. Best part? No oil or eggs needed for this recipe! Yes it

is even a healthy version of your typical cupcakes.

Yellow Cake Mix (16.5 oz.)

Canned Pumpkin (15 oz.)

2/3 cup water

1 T. plus 1 Tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Cool Whip Cream Cheese Frosting

The size of these ingredients is important. If you buy a different size cake

mix, be sure to adjust your water accordingly.

Chocolate Strawberry Cloud Cupcakes! Tonight, I decided to take every day cupcakes and make the grandkids something

special using the new Cool Whip Frosting I found at Walmart.

Cool Whip Frosting comes in three varieties: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cream

Cheese. And wow, is it ever delicious! I discovered that it is comparably priced to

other pre-made frostings; but the light, whipped cream texture, with the delicious

creamy flavors is sensational and very different from others we’ve tried. You can

pick it up in the freezer case, right next to Cool Whip.

With my favorite chocolate cake recipe, Cool Whip Vanilla Frosting and a few sliced

strawberries, our everyday dessert for Thursday Night with the Grandkids made

Grandma a rock star!

Apple Spice CupcakesWho needs an excuse to make dessert! I wanted to try out Cool Whip's new Cool Whip

Frosting, and with apple picking season and Fall upon us, it seemed like the

perfect opportunity to create an apple cupcake dessert.

These Apple Spice Cupcakes have a yummy Pecan Caramel filling which can

also be drizzled over the top. The Cool Whip Frosting adds a creamy, light

topping that is a perfect complement the muffin-like texture of the cupcakes.

Acorn Snickerdoodle CupcakesTo celebrate fall, I wanted to make it festive and fun so I created some candy acorns

that I saw on Pinterest a long time ago.

It all starts with the cake. I purchased a simple yellow cake mix and doctored it up to

make the cupcakes taste like Snickerdoodle cookies. Busy moms need shortcuts, and

I seem to be the queen of finding them! All I did was add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and

1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.

I picked up the new Cool Whip Frosting in vanilla flavor. This new frosting is light and

fluffy just like Cool Whip topping and makes an excellent frosting. You can find it in the

freezer section right next to the regular Cool Whip.

Constructing the acorns is a very simple 3 step process. First, apply royal icing to the

bottom of a Hershey’s Kiss. Next, top it with a mini wafer. Finally, dip a mini chocolate

chip into the royal icing and place on top of the wafer.

As soon as the cupcakes were cool, I frosted and sprinkled the top. I don’t like a

lot of frosting on my cupcakes so there was enough in that little tub to cover all 24

cupcakes! We loved them!

Everyday Occasions With Cool Whip FrostingUsually I make cupcakes or cakes to celebrate a birthday or holiday. I was

tasked with making cupcakes/cake to celebrate an everyday occasion. There

are those moments in life where one does need to just celebrate and enjoy!

So, I decided to make cupcakes to tell my co-workers how much their hard

work is appreciated.

For this project I had to try out the new Cool Whip Frosting. I’ll admit that I

am a buttercream girl, so I was expecting the Cool Whip Frosting to be an

alternative to my usual icing, but not anything spectacular.

I was so wrong.

Y’all…this stuff is SO GOOD!!!

I’m in love. I hope they add more flavors to the line-up such as mint, or even

cinnamon sugar for the holidays. Just an idea Cool Whip!

It’s in the freezer section at Walmart for about $2.28. It’s easy to use and

affordable. You can make everyday a special occasion!

Candy Sugar Skull Cake I find it important to celebrate everyday occasions, especially culture

related, with the kids now that they are old enough to understand.

With Hispanic Heritage in full swing, we talk about the foods I ate as

a kid and the foods they now eat that are part of the Mexican culture.

With Dia e los Muertos, (Day of the Dead), around the corner, what

better way to remember my grandparents than with a Candy Sugar

Skull Cake to get the celebration started!

We headed to our local Walmart to pick up some of the ingredients

we needed to get our cake dessert started! Our first stop was frosting,

so we stopped by and picked up the new Cool Whip Frosting. They

had 2 flavors, Dutch Chocolate and Vanilla, in the freezer section.

When it was time to frost the cake, I was super amazed with the

consistency of the frosting. I used maybe 2/3 of the frosting and was

excited to have some left over.

We enjoyed our cake and talked about our upcoming celebration of

my great grandma and grandpa during Day of the Dead! I like to think

they were present in spirit because our pictures had this odd white

spot in them.

It was the perfect celebration in our everyday life.

Tie Dye Spider CupcakesMy parents had us over for dinner the other night and my job was

to bring the dessert. With Halloween right around the corner and

one person who is petrified of spiders, I knew these super simple

cupcakes would be perfect (insert witchy cackle here). I was short on

time because it was a weeknight and had to pull the dessert together

quickly. I opted for a boxed cake mix and Cool Whip Cream Cheese

Frosting from the frozen food isle.

I whipped up the cake mix according to the box directions, divided it

into three bowls and added food coloring to each one. Then I filled

up the cupcake liners with a little of each color and used a toothpick

to swirl the colors for a tie dye effect.

After the cupcakes came out of the oven I let them cool completely.

Right before we left the house I filled a piping bag with the Cool

Whip Frosting and after frosting each one I embellished them with

a creepy plastic spider! The cupcakes were a complete hit and so

was the frosting! I loved using this frosting because it is a little on the

thicker side and held its shape after being piped on. These babies

looked and tasted better than any store bought cupcakes – plus they

were super simple! (My “kind of” dessert!)

Pumpkin RollI hope you are ready for holiday baking. I know that I sure am.

Today I am sharing one of my favorite holiday recipes. It is a

pumpkin roll with COOL WHIP Cream Cheese Frosting.

That's right, COOL WHIP makes frosting now. It is in the freezer

section right next to the regular COOL WHIP. It is a whipped

frosting and it comes in Cream Cheese, Vanilla, and Chocolate

flavors.

Showing Off My Baking SkillsLet me begin by admitting that I’m not what you’d call an “expert” baker.

So when I got the chance to put Kraft Cool Whip Frosting to the test, I

chalked it up as a fun opportunity to bake some cupcakes for our two-

year-old. Then I realized that they’d be the first homemade cupcakes

she’d ever had. Suddenly the pressure was on.

To make the experience extra special, we bought Cinderella on DVD and

decided to make not regular cupcakes, but princess cupcakes. I wasn’t 100

percent sure what “princess cupcakes” would be, but I was pretty sure

they’d be pink and sparkly.

Truth be told, I wasn’t even aware that Cool Whip made a frosting. I

chose the vanilla frosting because I planned to add a little red food

coloring to make it pink.

Unlike regular cake and cupcake frosting, the Cool Whip Frosting was

much lighter and creamier. It was very much like the Cool Whip whipped

cream, but just a little thicker and a little sweeter. What I liked most about

it was that it spread very easily. I also liked that it wasn’t as dense as

regular frosting, which gave the cupcakes a much lighter, airier taste and

texture.

So what did our two-year-old princess think about her princess

cupcakes? She loved them, which made this inexperienced baking

momma very happy.

Cupcakes for Breakfast! Or, How I Learned to Make My Family Smile in the Morning

Breakfast cupcakes… I was thrilled just thinking about it. I mean, hey, we

all have to wake up each and every morning. And it’s a fact of life that some

mornings are just better than others. But, my goal was to make this one

memorable in a good way!

I happened upon Cool Whip Frosting a couple weeks ago and was really

excited to finally pick some up in the freezer section. I loved how the

packaging for Vanilla said it was “Made with Real Milk & Butter,” which is just

perfect for breakfast, don’t you think? Cool Whip Frosting is so different! It’s

hard to describe – soft and light, sweet, and I’d even go so far as to declare

it silky. Traditional frosting just doesn’t compare. I bought up all three flavors

of the frosting (Cream Cheese, Vanilla, and Chocolate) because I just knew I

would be able to find great excuses to use it. You know, like for breakfast ;)

After frosting the cupcakes and sprinkling them with Fruity Pebbles, I placed

them out on the table with a sign for my family, encouraging them to look

on the bright side! That today was going to be a GREAT day! And you know

what? Those frowns from the day before turned upside down. There was my

sweet family smiling, even at O-Dark-Hundred in the morning. It was so fun

to laugh and smile and eat cupcakes together before we all headed out the

door. It’s something I will always remember, and I hope they do, too.

Fall Fun CakesYou know how I love holidays! When I found out Cool Whip now had frosting, I HAD

to try it. I loaded the kids up in the van and went to Walmart. We found the Cool Whip

Frosting in the freezer section.

The kids and I discussed which flavor to frost our Halloween layer cake with and

finally decided we just had to try all three: vanilla, cream cheese, and chocolate.

“This is the best frosting ever…in the whole wide world!” said one of my kids as they

enjoyed their cakes. Regular frosting is so much heavier that they usually leave

chunks of it on their plates and tell me it’s too sweet. With the Cool Whip Frosting they

licked the plates clean!

OREO Ice Cream CakeI was so impressed with the flavor of the Cool Whip Frostings and loved how much

easier they were to work with than some of the traditional shelf-stable frostings.

They’ll definitely be a great frosting to top any cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.

Most of us are familiar with the traditional Cool Whip whipped topping, but this would

be the first time I would use Cool Whip Frosting. I found the Cool Whip Frosting in the

freezer aisle, next to the regular whipped topping. There were three flavors to choose

from – Cream Cheese, Vanilla, and Chocolate. For my ice cream cake, I grabbed a

tub of Cool Whip Frosting Vanilla and Cool Whip Frosting Chocolate.

Frosting Our Halloween CakeDo you ever make a cake for no good reason? I do!

Last week, on our grocery run I picked up a new product that’s a lot like

Cool Whip but better – It’s called Cool Whip Frosting! I’ve used regular

cool whip on angel food cake, which I love because it’s guilt-less. The

frosting is pretty much the same, as it’s a little thicker in texture and not

quite as light and airy, but it’s sweet and perfect for frosting cake (less

the fat and extra calories)! This is why it makes the perfect every day

cake frosting for me!

I decided on the cream cheese flavor as opposed to chocolate or

vanilla.

The Cool Whip Frosting had a really nice, thick texture to work with. It

worked really great in a pastry bag if I needed it to. In this case, I just

used my spatula and spread some on. The orange food coloring mixed

in really nicely with the hand mixer. The only way I can best describe it

is that it was a lot like regular cool whip, but thicker and sweeter.

A cake mix + cool whip = a delicious, (lower) calorie dessert option that

is sumptuous!
