Part 6/8:
With the muffins in the oven, the team shifts their focus to preparing the icing. Chef Anne introduces a simple variation of buttercream icing using cream cheese and confectioner's sugar. The process involves careful measurement and gradual mixing to prevent a sugar cloud that could obscure all their hard work.
As the frosting comes together, the children learn that the right kind of fat can significantly alter the texture and flavor of their icing. Chef Anne also suggests creative variations, like adding warm spices to enhance the pumpkin theme—true to the spirit of culinary exploration!
