Notes

The brown sugar in the frosting can give it a slightly grainy texture. This doesn’t affect the flavor, so you can use it right away, but you get the best result if you make it a day in advance.
You can make it up to 3 days ahead of time if you like. It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature as long as you are using it within a week of making it.
