Italian Frosting
"From "1001 Old-Time Household Hints", by Yankee Magazine. Intended to go with "Celebration Cake" (see my other recipes). I haven't tried this (not usually a fan of frosting with shortening in it) but thought I'd post it for completeness."

1 10" 2 layer cake's worth

- 1 cup cold milk

My main love in cooking is in trying recipes that are new and different. I'm also a big Christmas baker, and enjoy playing around with my bread machine.
