Gooey Goodness Tuesday: She has VIEWS on frosting

It's Tuesday. Topher was just finishing off the last two bites of these delicious, homemade brownies I made this weekend for his little brother Scott and Scott's fantastic girlfriend.  I made them little care packages for finals.

He was lip smacking away and then he said:

"These don't even need frosting."



Now, I'll admit, I don't think brownies really NEED frosting.

However.

I'm a believer that frosting, when done correctly, only enhances and can be good anytime, anywhere.


Topher's view? Frosting is only needed on things like "yellow cake." (btw, yellow cake is my favorite.)

What's your view? Frosting on or frosting off?

    On brownies, frosting off. On any kind of cake, frosting on! It's usually my favorite part.

    IMO, the frosting is the most important thing. More important, even, than the brownie. (And I do love brownies.)

    FROSTING, duh. My perfect ratio of frosting to cake involves barely seeing the speck of cake on my frosting :)

    Who turns down frosting? Not me, that's for sure.

    I love frosting. LOVE it! And it better be buttercream - none of that non-dairy whipped topping crap.
    But on brownies I am firmly anti-frosting! I think it's because I like my brownies undercooked and fudgy, which doesn't go well with frosting.

    The more frosting the better. ALWAYS.

    I am firmly of the mindset that there is never such a thing as "too much frosting." If something doesn't have frosting, frosting will make it even more amazeballs.

    Actually, if I see someone scrape (precious, luscious) frosting off of a piece of cake or a cupcake, I honestly get a bit upset, because It offends my frosting-loving sensibilities. True story.

    Frosting makes everything better. As does cheese.
