Cream Cheese Frosting
8 ounce cream cheese (softened, I used whipped)
1/4 c. butter (softened)
1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
2 c. confectioners sugar
Cream together cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in confectioners sugar (I added 1/2 c. at a time). Be sure to refrigerate the cake after frosting, as this has cream cheese in it.
My youngest says I need my own show, like Cake Boss, she declares. I love that girl! She sure knows how to make a Mom feel good.
So now it doesn't really matter if we have a snow day or delay tomorrow, we are armed with chocolate cake. Let it snow!
Earlier today. With my new camera~finally!
Old Man Winter is showing us that he is still in charge. Beautiful.
hugs,
Cathy

I've been thinking about you Cathy! And I was going to drop you a (personal) line, but then you left me your comment. I am still so sorry. I'm glad you're feeling better. HUGS. Wish I could help.

Being snowed in with chocolate cake sounds like the PERFECT day to me! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think the snow is suppossed to stick around for long...it's amazing how it can get our spirits down though.
