Lemon Cream Cake
About this Cook
I sell Avon and I just love it!
My favorite things to cook
Desserts and brunch type foods are my favorites, but I love to cook anything!
My favorite family cooking traditions
We love Egg crescent cups for Sunday brunch. That or biscuits and gravy for breakfast.
My cooking triumphs
The Lemon Cream Cake was fantastic. Took a lot of hours to get it all done, but it was well worth it. It was a great Mother's Day Brunch "piece de resistance"
My cooking tragedies
Letting my ex-hubby make rice krispie treats for a New Year's Eve party...he used a rubber spatula when melting the marshmallows, and when we were eating them, we noticed they were really hard. He melted the rubber end of the spatula and didn't even realize it!!!

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes
Me again...the sumbitter. I was in a pinch this year and I wasn't going to have time to prepare this for tomorrow like I wanted, so I used canned sweet potatoes. I can't believe I admitted that. It wasn't as good as fresh, but it worked out just fine, and still tastes pretty good. I used the same ingredients, mixed with a blender, folded in the nuts, now all I have to do is heat it up for tomorrow. I really prefer fresh, but if you're in a hurry and still want this recipe, canned sweet potatoes (good brand) worked out ok!

Best White Icing Ever
I followed all the directions, and it was still too stiff, even after whipping for over 5 minutes. I thinned it just slightly and it was perfect. I made this strictly for decorating a cake, and it tinted wonderfully. The flavor was just so-so. It's definitely better for decorating. I didn't have butter on hand (due to sending the hubby to the store instead of doing it myself), but I'm sure the flavor would be much better with softened, salted butter. I'll use this one from now on when I decorate. It was just super easy!

Bunuelos
This is good, but it's so much work. I've resorted to using flour tortillas. I cut them in strips about 2" x 3", and deep fry them until they're golden, turning once. Then I immediately dip them in cinnamon and sugar. Perfect and much easier, but this recipe is still good.
