This frosting recipe pairs beautifully with our Strawberry Limeade Amish Friendship Bread Cake, with bright bites of strawberries and a subtle tang of lime.

The flavor on this was outstanding but it took a long time toset up even in the fridge. Next time I will refridgerate for a couple of hours before frosting the cake.
