what can I use to "frost" blueberry muffins?

NovelMama · 12-18-2008, 02:11 PM

I told AJ I would make her a cupcake cake for her b-day. We found a flower design she likes, but then she said she wants blueberry muffins and not cupcakes. I'm going to make some of each since I know not everyone is a blueberry muffin fan, but I don't know what to use as frosting that I can color. Using regular frosting seems too sweet for a muffin. Suggestions?

You could make a cream cheese frosting. If you make it homemade then you can decide how sweet you want it. That just sounded good to me because I love cream cheese on blueberry bagels!

You could puree some thawed blueberries, add to either cream cheese

or melted butter, and beat in enough powdered sugar to get it thick enough. Then the color is already done too (from the blueberries).

I would use a lemon glaze, Ooooooummmm. *wipes drool off chin*

I guess you could color that, but a white glaze would be so pretty, I think. Oh! But sprinkles would be awesome!

Just plain ol' softened cream cheese sounds yummy to me! You could sprinkle more blueberries on top, cuz you can never have too many blueberries in a blueberry muffin!

A vanillla cream frosting sounds good to me! Not real sweet, but making it taste like blueberries and cream....YUM!

I mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to drizzle on carrot bread and carrot muffins. Maybe if you added some cream cheese it would have a more frosting sort of texture.
