The cream-filled donuts in my cake shop are filled with this white cream filling. It's the filling used in smear face and cream horn pastries. I have looked forever for the Holland cream recipe for donuts but never had luck finding it, so I created my own.

This coconut and pecan frosting is great on many cakes, not the least of which is German chocolate cake.

This Bavarian cream is from my great-grandmother's recipe book.

A nice, basic meringue recipe. Egg whites beaten with cream of tartar, then sugar until those famous stiff peaks form — golly, that's good meringue! Use it to make meringue cookies, or top dessert pies.

This is an easy dairy-free frosting recipe I have tweaked to my liking after a few tries. It is very tasty and is pretty easy to make.

This buttercream icing is an easy-to-make egg-free frosting that's great for decorating cookies for holidays, birthdays, and parties. Use paste to color the icing. If you use liquid color, you may need to add more confectioner's sugar.
