These three cake and cupcake frostings cover the most common filling and decorating needs: quark, cream cheese, and buttercream. The quark frosting starts with a thick vanilla pudding, which is cooled before quark, a fresh farmer's cheese, is beaten in. For the cream cheese frosting, simply whip together Lučina, a fresh cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy whipping cream; for the buttercream, beat together butter, sugar, and vanilla. Choose according to whether you want a lighter filling or a firmer frosting for decorating.

  1. Quark frosting

    Cook the pudding according to the package directions, but use 2 packets instead of 1 for 500 ml of milk and add a little more sugar. Let the pudding cool, then combine it with the quark and beat thoroughly.

  3. Buttercream

    Beat the softened butter, add the sugar, and beat for about 2 minutes, until smooth and fluffy. Finally, add the vanilla extract and continue beating until the frosting is glossy and firm enough.

Tip: Use the Lučina and heavy whipping cream straight from the refrigerator for the cream cheese frosting, as warm ingredients would make it runny. Let the butter for the buttercream soften, but do not melt it.
