DeConstructing Cool Whip

Read it if you want.

Unbelievably delicious on cake.

I like the idea of just the sprinkle of powdered sugar thru the doiley. That would be pretty. Cool Whip is my favorite though with berries.

I want cake!!!!

4 A.M. the other morning I watched 2 old pros, Julia Childs and Martha Stewart, making the real buttercream. Not difficult at all. I am going to try to make some next time I make a cake.

I came across the Not Too Sweet Fluffy Frosting I mentioned. Here is the recipe. It lasts a long time without getting hard:

1/2 cup milk
2 Tbspn flour - Whisk in small pan as you cook over medium heat. Set aside.

1/4 cup Crisco
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 tspn vanilla - mix trogether in bowl.

Beat the two together now until fluffy.
