Today we went to a childrens birthday party. We had a very nice time, the parents went all out and, ultimately, the kids had a blast. During the course of the time, I spoke with the dad about how he made the cake. It was very impressive, and very well done! He made a Lightning McQueen Cars cake. He explained how he came to making cakes for his little girl and that he stayed up until 1:00am making it...awww, the love of a parent...
He explained to me the frosting ingredients, which were conf. sugar, crisco, vanilla, water and I think some salt. Hearing that inspired me to want to make some for myself...Usually when I make frosting its more like a glaze except for when I add some Toffuti "cream cheese". Since a tub of the fake cream cheese is expensive, I rarely make any. During the frosting discussion, I realized I don't use enough sugar.
This week, my goal will be to try to make some frosting, more importantly, dairy free frosting.
Too bad I'll have to make some cake to go along with it and maybe some cookies....or maybe.....hmmmm...what else goes well with frosting!!???!!
