 Frosting suggestions for an apple caramel cake? It's a white cake filled with a caramel pastry cream and carmalized apples. I'm going to garnish it with some spiced walnuts. I'm stuck on how to frost this cake. I want to incorporate the leftover pastry cream (about 1/3 cup) into the frosting but have no clue as to what kind of frosting would be good to use with the pastry cream. I'd appreciate any suggestions y'all may have.      |

| How about a maple butter cream or a chai spice butter cream and don't worry about just incorporating the pastry cream into the frosting (this is kind of like a french butter cream).

| It sounds like frosting might make it VERY HEAVY (Like a Paula Deen cake) Maybe just some powdered sugar and Cinn...? |

| Thanks for the suggestions. This was for someone at work and she doesn't like maple. So I tried your suggestion of doing a chai flavor. It turned out nicely and everyone enjoyed it. So that was good. The chai made it more along the lines of an apple spice cake. Which is good, but not quite what I was going after. I'm thinking more along the lines of a caramel apple - but done as a cake. So the next time I do this, I may try the whipped cream idea. We used the extra caramel pastry cream as a dip for shortbread cookies at home - very tasty. beth |
