Made with powdered sugar, this whipped cream frosting seems to be more stable than the whipped cream that I normally make but it is still light and fluffy. Though it is plenty rich, it is lighter and less sweet than buttercream frosting, making it a perfect option for angel food cake and other light summer desserts.

Given my son’s ongoing interest in all the colors of the rainbow, I decided to incorporate the rainbow into our dessert. A thin, chewy sugar cookie topped with refreshing lemon curd makes the sun and an array of summer’s fruits makes the rainbow.
