Now having someone in our life who is immunocompromiesed, I'm using a liquid egg alternative (similar to "Eggbeaters") in place of an egg.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756484467637683379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-31637805961418656462013-06-03T16:17:15.315-07:002013-06-03T16:17:15.315-07:00I just made your icing last week for my husband...I just made your icing last week for my husband's birthday cake.

And on a side note, the icing is great in the stage before you add the egg too, not as fluffy but if anyone is concerned:).Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393301964073708558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-55788262302343504672011-03-31T13:12:55.156-07:002011-03-31T13:12:55.156-07:00I missed Pi day again!

There are TONS of sites like this, my sister in law is great at sharing them so I'd be happy to forward them along, but here's one my mom sent to explore:). Hope you're having a great day! And that red velvet cake looked delicious as well!<br />http://frugalbabe.com/2008/04/27/our-frugal-homemade-diapers/ (she offered to try out some cloth diapers on her sewing machine, I'm not sure I'm ready to make that plunge until Joseph is done with school but I guess it couldn't hurt to try if they're free:). I have a site that has discounted kits (like $1.60 per diaper) if you're interested:).

We use fresh eggs from our backyard chickens, which lessens my concern, but also you can just refrigerate the leftover cake if you like. It actually makes it even more dense! {Just be sure to cover it so it doesn't dry out}MelancholySmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111279059498208927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-1745897048264092372011-03-20T22:35:22.611-07:002011-03-20T22:35:22.611-07:00I made a chocolate cake tonight just so I could tr...I made a chocolate cake tonight just so I could try this frosting!
