For an easy and fast fruity flavored frosting, mix strained baby food (fruit flavored) with powdered sugar. Start with the baby food and slowly add powdered sugar until you get the right consistency. I’ve done this with peach, plum, and applesauce baby foods. It works great for cupcake frosting especially when you’re only making a dozen or so cupcakes.
My Mom actually made this many, many years ago. As I am one of 11 children, we always had baby food around the house. What could be simpler?! The more powdered sugar you use, the stiffer the frosting gets, so you can actually use this to frost sugar cookies, too. Just experiment and see what you can do with it.
