I love party pics, your family is the cutest. The shot of your mom on Clare's blog singing karaoke is priceless. Yes, please do tell what real red velvet frosting is...
ReplyDeleteby popular demand...the REAL red velvet frosting:
ReplyDelete1 cup milk
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a saucepan, combine the milk and 5 tablespoons flour. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Set aside to cool completely. Cream together butter, 1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until light and fluffy, then stir in the cooled milk and flour mixture, beating until icing reaches spreading consistency.
That cake looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures!!
