I did NOT consume the yucky shortening! I refused to eat this frosting once I saw what was in it and I always scrape it off cakes too - it's too sweet for my tastes usually and now that I know what goes into it...I just feed it to the labmates :) wow - 80 quarts...that's a lot of frosting! now I want to try playing around with different frostings to see if I can come up with something healthier, or at least tastier!<BR/><BR/>MM: aw, thank you sweet girl!<BR/><BR/>Clare: I do find I need to exercise that side of my brain <I>sometimes</I> so that I don't go crazy and that it doesn't just atrophy and die!<BR/><BR/>Rob: yeah, it's gross! thanks!<BR/><BR/>Kitchenqueen: Thank you, I did!<BR/><BR/>Melissa: Thanks for the link! I had a wonderful time trucking around the Ghetto, but I think that the Ferry Street Marketplace stole my heart - I'll post about it soon. I'm excited to start playing around with buttercream frosting recipes since the class is over and I don't have to use this one anymore!<BR/><BR/>Dawn: yay!! you're back! I'm so glad!! I missed you!<BR/><BR/>David: Wow - thanks! I'll check it out.<BR/><BR/>Jessica: Glad we haven't gotten caught yet (or caught cancer!)! I fear the day OSHA catches up with us. We get pretty lax around here about a lot of things - when you're around it all the time it's not as scary! What do you do? and where? Good to know I'm not the only science and food geek out there (there's actually a lot of us - we're taking over...)!<BR/><BR/>Paz: why thank you my dear! I send you good wishes for a best boyfriend ever to give you cake classes and many other food gifts (I'm still training my own :)<BR/><BR/>Hungry Hippo - I just can't do it! You're way more hardcore than I am!

It used to be my job at the bakery to make the frostings for the cake room. I would make frosting in an 80 quart Hobart mixer; one recipe of white and one of chocolate. EW! I can't eat icing anymore, unless a cake passes by me...okay I still eat cake but the scrape the icing off. Your cake looks so pretty. Good luck with your trip and be safe!vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16233520.post-1141179860715351412006-02-28T18:24:00.000-08:002006-02-28T18:24:00.000-08:00good luck with hunting!Those flowers are totally c...good luck with hunting!<BR/><BR/>Those flowers are totally cute- your labmates are lucky :)Jocelyn:McAuliflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740967128867118223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16233520.post-1141175712075771672006-02-28T17:15:00.000-08:002006-02-28T17:15:00.000-08:00Holy samosa!
