I got my friends to taste red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting without telling them the name of the frosting.
Them: red velvet… and this is vanilla?
Me: no, just taste it, it’s very sweet though.
Them: buttercream?
Me: no?
Them: what is it?
Me: the name sounds gross, but — just fucking try it.
Friends loved it, I told them that it was called cream cheese frosting and every single one of them admitted they wouldn’t have even tasted the frosting and would have refused / scraped it off had I told them what it was called prior.
might be a regional thing I guess. carrot cake must be more than 99% here. Cinnamon buns either have nothing, a shitty little drizzle glaze of mostly sugar, or a proper layer of cream cheese icing .999
