                Delicious. It is tangy, but so good, and I prefer this to butter cream any day!

                I used sour cream and it was over all a really good frosting but there is a slight tanginess to it. I put toasted almond slices all around the sides of the frosting  imitating a rein de saba cake. I think it tastes even better out of the fridge, its like a ice cream cake! I am eating it right now for breakfast :P
