For those who dislike almond, it's maybe a half tsp of almond extract, so it's not overpowering AT ALL. It has a LOT more vanilla! I'll be sure to share a pic of the final cake.

The strawberry curd sounds plenty of sweet, so a light frosting would compliment it nicely.

Except I'm tinting this frosting so I'm going 100% clear/white on everything, including extracts. I can definitely tell when it's in stuff--it has that telltale subtle slickness afterwards. This particular recipe doesn't have a lot in it, but it does stabilize it enough so i can frost nicely with it. Otherwise, I find buttercream droops or cracks if it's got too much butter in it. i actually bake with crisco fairly often; it's the magical lard to my cookies, LOL Mamaof2 on "The Frosting Debate for E's bday cake" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frosting-debate-for-es-bday-cake#post-2119315 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:15:06 +0000 Mamaof2 2119315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @blackbird: Oh I know! My DH's grandma makes whoopee pies and the filling has buttercream with Crisco and EVERYONE gobbles them up saying how yummy they are but once DH told me it had Crisco every time I took a bite all I tasted was Crisco! :bummed: blackbird on "The Frosting Debate for E's bday cake" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frosting-debate-for-es-bday-cake#post-2119308 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:13:09 +0000 blackbird 2119308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @knittylady: My husband *hates* almond flavoring but it's such a tiny amount, he likes this frosting!
