Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Frosting
About this Cook
I live in Wisconsin in the Madison area and work at the American Family Insurance Headquarters as a Payroll Coordinator. I am also currently attending school to recieve my Associate in the Science of Business.
My favorite things to cook
I am 24 year old who loves to bake and really loves to eat baked goods! Both of my grandmothers are really great cooks and I started to adventure into baking when I was in grade school.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Christmas my family has me make Cranberry Pudding as our Christmas dessert. Eventhough other family members know how to make the dessert, it is tradition for me to make it. I always hear, "So when are you making the Cranberry Pudding?"
My cooking triumphs
I recently made my little sisters 18th birthday cake. It was my first time using a rolled fondant (got the recipe here) and it turned out mod looking. Just what I was going for! She wanted a swirl cake, but I decided to twist it around and made a checker board layer cake instead. We loved it!
My cooking tragedies
I grew up with a gas stove and oven. When I moved into my apartment in Wisconsin I had an electric range. I burned many things trying to get used to the new heating elements. I definately prefer gas ranges!!

Cake Balls
I made these with left over cake scraps from 2 cake orders that I had and took the balls into work the next day. I had enough cake left to make a double batch so I made one with chocolate frosting and one with cherry frosting. They were gone quickly and extremely liked! I'm so glad that I have a quick and easy recipe to use left over cake! No more waste in the garbage!

Coconut Cream Cake I
Yummy! This was great! I made it for Easter and everyone loved it, even my sister who doesn't like cake had a 2nd piece. I made a round layer cake and was worried about transfering the cakes after they soaked up the milk mixture, but I didn't have any problems. I coated mine in toasted coconut.

Pineapple Orange Sorbet
We liked this sorbet. I did as others said and did 1c orange juice and 1c pineapple juice. Next time I will add less sugar as we would like ours to be more tart. Thanks to other reviewers I knew to let it sit out awhile before serving and it turned out great!
