"Don’t be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. “Accentuate the positive.” Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

MELT IN YOU MOUTH BUTTERCREAM FROSTING!

I tried a new Buttercream frosting for Kresta's birthday cake, and it was the most delicious frosting I have ever had! And I'm not being bias, because almost everyone who tasted it said the exact same thing. I sure wish I could take credit for creating this delectable light and creamy, melt in your mouth, fluffy, sugary goodness, BUT it's a Wilton recipe:
1/2 c butter
1/2 c vegetable shortening
1 tsp real vanilla
4 c powdered sugar
1/8 c milk

1 1/2 c white chocolate chips
1/8 c milk

Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer until well blended. Add vanilla then one cup of sugar and a portion of 1/8 c milk until all sugar and milk has been added. Beat on high until light and fluffy. In a microwavable bowl add the white chocolate and 1/8 c milk. Microwave on high at 30 second intervals until smooth and creamy. Be very careful because chocolate burns easily, and it's basically useless if it does because it becomes clumpy and pasty. As you get to the point where it's mostly melted, microwave at 10 second intervals. Add the smooth white chocolate to the frosting and beat again until light and fluffy. You will NOT be disappointed. It's better than cotton candy...oh yes it is, I promise!
