NOTES
Using raw eggs in frosting is safe for consumption as long as following conditions are met:
– Best use within the day it is made
– If for later use, keep at refrigeration temperature then beat before using
– Not advisable for commercial selling
– After frosting a cupcake chill again before consumption
– The eggs should be pasteurized
For the vAlentines cupcakes, about the frosting, the ingredient calls for an egg. i checked the instructions, it didn’t say anything about cooking or heating the frosting. Isn’t it dangerous that the frosting has fresh egg in it?
