About


To make a frosting that is the type you get on a purchased cake, try this: To this you may add 1 tsp. of flavor such as almond extract or white vanilla. This will make it slightly thinner. This frosting may then be spread on a cake and with a little food coloring, be used as a decorating frosting. Remember, this is not low in calories.
