Best Friends For Frosting originated as a Mother & Daughter baking blog which exclusively exhibited Melissa & her mother’s homemade dessert creations.  As Melissa searched amongst fellow dessert blogs for inspiration, she was fascinated by the large amount of  undiscovered culinary talent and trends.   Melissa decided to take Best Friends For Frosting one step further and launch it into a website. Best Friends for Frosting is an online magazine which premiers top rated dessert recipes among fellow dessert blogs.  All avenues are exhausted to gather the hippest, freshest, and most exquisite dessert trends.
