Sometimes, I do enter the kitchen to bake!! I fell in love with the idea of a cake made of cupcakes. Easy to serve everyone. I needed a dessert for Middle's baptism dinner.
I was so thrilled at how the pull apart dress cake turned out.
The directions to the cake are here.......
The frosting recipe, however, is a family one. It's to die for and everyone who tastes it asks for the recipe and then uses as their go to frosting themselves. I will be nice and share:)
Wedding Cake Frosting
1/2 c. Shortening(white)
1/2 c. Real butter
1 tsp. Almond extract
4 c. Powdered sugar
Whip really well and then add:
2 tsp. Milk
Whip again until fluffy
* This is so yummy that I end up eating it plain. It's also extremely delicious on top of sugar cookies.*
Thanks for letting me share.....even though it's not prim......and it's just family stuff:)
