Cream Toppings: Whipped, Custards & Frostings for Every Dessert

From cloud-light whipped cream to glossy ganache, silky pastry cream and tangy cream-cheese frosting—this hub gathers the best cream toppings for cakes, cupcakes, pies, waffles and sundaes. Each recipe on yummy.world is illustrated step by step, so your toppings spread, pipe and swirl like a pro.

Master the essentials: whip to soft, medium or stiff peaks, prevent over-whipping, and learn simple ways to stabilize whipped cream (gelatin, mascarpone, cream cheese or milk powder) for longer hold. Explore dairy-free options like coconut whip, plus flavor upgrades—vanilla, cocoa, espresso, citrus zest, caramel or fruit purée—to match any dessert.

Get chefy finishing: shiny chocolate ganache drips, smooth crème anglaise pours, airy diplomat cream for layering, or a quick sour-cream/crème fraîche topping to balance sweetness. You’ll also find storage & make-ahead tips (chill bowls, keep toppings cold, pipe just before serving) to ensure perfect texture at the table.

Browse the toppings below and cook along on our interactive map to crown every dessert with a flawless, creamy finish.
