He got his first camera at age 7 in 1902 and he takes photos of his life in France...he's amazing! It might inspire True! I think my cousin's college professor wrote it or something... that's how I found it. I just love that True loves sushi too!! ;)Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-50809347612174719352010-04-28T11:55:00.835-07:002010-04-28T11:55:00.835-07:00I can solve your frosting problem!

Here is the perfect vegan buttercream:<br /><br />1/2 cup Earth Balance stick margarine<br />1/2 cup nonhydrogenated shortening<br />3 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar<br />1 1/2 tsp vanilla<br />1/4 cup plain soy milk or soy creamer<br /><br />Beat shortening + maragarine together til fluffy. Add sugar and beat about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and soy milk, beat another 5-7 minutes until fluffy.<br /><br />---------------------<br /><br />Yes, that's a lot of beating. But this is a GREAT frosting that really stands up. I even use it for piped, intricate cakes and it won't melt or run. Your runny cake problem will be solved forever!<br /><br />I think you can sub another kind of milk for the soy if you are avoiding soy. Use Earth Balance margarine, NOT Smart Balance, which has too high a water content for this kind of frosting (it will run).<br /><br />The recipe is from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero (p. 142).Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274508276595416473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-90748975802910952372010-04-28T11:10:05.050-07:002010-04-28T11:10:05.050-07:00I finally gave up trying to make "pretty"...I finally gave up trying to make "pretty" dairy-free, gluten-free frosting from scratch when I discovered Cherrybrook Kitchens. http://www.cherrybrookkitchen.com/index.php<br /><br />Their frosting always turns out - and tastes! - very good.

Sometimes I will even refridgerate it for a while just to be sure the warm cake doesn't melt the icing. Also, being in humid Florida, I will often put the finished cake in the fridge until right before the event.Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477667031778175300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-73680251587698106832010-04-28T10:46:00.781-07:002010-04-28T10:46:00.781-07:00i love how special you kept everything even though...i love how special you kept everything even though it was a family party. so often we skip the pretty stuff when it's just "us" and i think that's a bummer. everything you created for your daughter is so inspiring!! love it all.Heather @ Life Made Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735627545669231663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-10180603270605018422010-04-28T10:25:07.588-07:002010-04-28T10:25:07.588-07:00I always use the fluffy vegan buttercream recipe f...I always use the fluffy vegan buttercream recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and I've never had a problem.
