Free Cottage-Safe Frosting Base
A simple, beginner-friendly, non-TCS frosting you can use for cookies, rolls, scones, and more.
What This Listing Is
This is a single frosting recipe — a free formula I created specifically for cottage bakers who need a reliable, shelf-stable (non-TCS) frosting that’s safe to use and simple to make.
It’s an entry-level version of the professional systems I teach in the Build Your Own Cottage-Safe Glazes & Frostings bundle, designed to help you test the process and see how simple adjustments to sugar, syrup, and fat ratios can completely transform texture and flavor.
Even though it’s straightforward, this formula has been used successfully by many cottage bakers for their own businesses. It’s stable, customizable, and easy to flavor.
What You’ll Get
One cottage-safe frosting recipe
Notes on adjusting flavor, consistency, and sweetness
Storage tips for non-TCS compliance
Quick ingredient substitutions and flavor ideas
What It Does Not Include
This free recipe is not part of the Build Your Own Cottage-Safe Glazes & Frostings System and does not include the advanced materials from that bundle.
It does not cover:
Professional stabilizers
Ratio testing or syrup comparisons
Flavor dosage charts and gourmet variations
Full troubleshooting and finishing guide
And more..
Why It’s Free
I wanted to give new and experienced cottage bakers alike a chance to try one of my tested recipes before committing to a full system.
Think of this as your starting point — a classic frosting that’s simple, safe, and ready to use.
If you love how this performs in your kitchen and want to learn how to take this concept further and more elevated and enhanced with professional sweeteners, stabilizers, and ratio-based systems, you’ll get all of that in the Build Your Own Cottage-Safe Glazes & Frostings System.
