Oct 27, 2022 12:32:53 PM ![Featured Image](https://www.embassychocolate.com/hubfs/chocolate%20frosting.jpg) Chocolate frosting is a great way to add flavor and liven up the appearance of your cakes. Whether to fill your cupcakes or [coat your cakes](https://www.embassychocolate.com/blog/chocolate-decoration-for-cakes), chocolate frosting can be an option for baking enthusiasts and bakery owners.  To make chocolate frosting, you obviously need to add chocolate as an ingredient. Baking chocolate is a great option to use, as they are readily available in your nearest baking supply stores or online shops, and is versatile for a lot of applications, including frosting. Find out how to make chocolate frosting using baking chocolate in this article. ## Uses for Chocolate Frosting Chocolate frosting is widely used as a filling and/or coating for cakes, cupcakes, cookies and pastries. They can also be used for piping decoration on top of baked goods. Not only do they improve the appearance of your creations, but they also add a delightfully soft texture.  When used as a coating, frosting keeps the quality of your cake by providing a protective layer, keeping the moisture in. ## Types of Chocolate Frosting ![frosting types](https://www.embassychocolate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/frosting%20types.jpg?width=521&height=347&name=frosting%20types.jpg) There are different types and variations of chocolate frosting. The most common types are buttercream frosting, cream cheese frosting, and whipped ganache. ### 1. Buttercream frosting Buttercream frosting is the most common type of frosting you’d find in a bakery. It is sweet, smooth, creamy, and rich. It has a thick and pipable texture that is perfect for coating and piping decoration.  Buttercream frosting combines a type of fat (usually butter, as the name implies) and sugar. ### 2. Cream cheese frosting Cream cheese frosting is best known (and well-loved) for its tangy flavor. It has a creamy texture and is best suited for spreading on cakes using a spatula rather than making detailed piping decorations.  This type of frosting uses cream cheese as its main source of fat, combined with butter and icing sugar. If you are a fan of its tang, you can reduce the amount of butter. To adjust the sweetness of your cream cheese frosting, you can increase or decrease the amount of sugar, but bear in mind that with less sugar, the frosting will be thinner. ### 3. Whipped ganache frosting As the name suggests, whipped [ganache](https://www.embassychocolate.com/blog/chocolate-to-cream-ratio-for-ganache) frosting is made from a ganache that is whipped, which creates a silky and light texture. It is a great alternative to buttercream because it’s as fluffy as buttercream, but it has a more rich chocolate flavor, which is a great option for chocolate lovers out there.  All you need to make whipped ganache frosting is chocolate and heavy whipping cream. They are perfect to frost cupcakes and cakes, and can also be used to fill cream puffs or eclairs. ## How to Make Chocolate Frosting Using Baking Chocolate ![making frosting](https://www.embassychocolate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/making%20frosting.jpg?width=521&height=347&name=making%20frosting.jpg) In this blog, we will share with you a recipe for chocolate buttercream, one of the easiest frostings to make that has a smooth and pipable texture.
