I wanted to post some pics of my last cake.

I made this June 7, 2007.

I have the best recipe for buttercream frosting.

This is the LARGE batch!

( you could make 1/3 of the batch & still have LOTS of frosting)

6 pounds of powdered sugar

6 cups of Crisco (Really - use Crisco - it really works)

1 3/4 to 2 cups of milk

1 tablespoon vanilla (clear for whiter frosting)

1 teaspoon of orange or lemon extract

Beat for 10 minutes - those last few minutes of beating really make it fluffy.

Store in a covered container - upside down if you are going to save it for a while. Enjoy!
