Hi Can You make this Frosting with out using the white vinegar? and instead using just some lemon or lime?
Carina: Actually the white vinegar is in the cake and I have since decided I don't think white vinegar is good so I now use apple cider but I'm sure some lemon or lime would be fine too.
Oh what a cute cake! My son would love that!
