"7 Minute Frosting"

This frosting his revolutionized my baking life! I know most everyone loves butter cream frosting, but I don't. I don't like the way it tastes and I find it really hard to work with - first it's too soft, then you put it in the fridge and it's too hard. I know it's a well known thing, but I found a recipe for "7 Minute Frosting" in a book called, "Hello, Cupcake" - and I've never looked back. It looks so pretty & shiny : ) And it tastes like marshmallow fluff! I made these cupcakes for a birthday dinner I had for my friend, Emily. She loved it too :) So if you haven't tried it yet - next time you make cupcakes...or a cake....make this frosting.

Maggy -- your cupcakes are beautiful! Every year for our birthdays Grandma Anderson used to make a two layered cake on a pretty cake plate and frost it beautiful with 7 Minute Frosting! You'll have to ask your dad about his birthday cakes! xoxo Aunt Susan
