Even though this recipe is called “ALMOND” frosting, you’ll notice there is no actual almond extract in here. That’s because the almond flavor comes from the maraschino cherry juice. We normally use this frosting to ice our sugar cookies for Valentine’s Day, so to frost these cupcakes I had to thin it out with some milk, then fluff it up with some marshmallow fluff.

Almond Frosting

• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice, more if needed

Mix all ingredients together and spread on sugar cookie.
