Frosting Recipes

When we think of guava, we think of warm, tropical happiness.  That’s why we loved this guava cupcakes with guava cream cheese frosting at BaaBaaCupcake.

If you don’t have access to fresh guava, that’s ok.  This frosting recipe calls for guava syrup which is available in many grocery stores.  If you’re having trouble finding it, you may look for guava paste, guava jelly, guava juice, pulp, or guava in syrup.  There are also online stores like Kalyustan’s that have a great selection of international ingredients.

Here’s the super delicious guava cream cheese frosting.  Don’t miss the pics and the adorable pink cupcake wrappers.  Cake recipe after the jump:
