This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This is the frosting recipe that my family used for the red velvet cake from the Waldorf Astoria. I learned that if it breaks (separates), all you need to do is keep beating with the mixer. I learned this from the bakery department manager at Whole Foods, San Mateo, CA.

This is an interesting frosting, but I'm not a fan of its greasiness. The flavor was fine, but I expected the texture to be fluffier.

Amazing and light. I used it on a white almond cake

This is the same recipe my nana used from the 1950's. It is amazing & gets a million compliments EVERY time! Unlike regular buttercream, fluffy & light, even with the rue. My personal favorite-thanks for sharing.

I searched for this recipe many years and came across it on a bag of Robin Hood flour back in the early 80's. It took so long to find it because I didn't know what it was called. Anyone who hasn't tried this frosting recipe, you do not know what you are missing. It's almost like the white cream filling in snack cakes. I call it fabulous.

I made this and it tasted AWESOME! This is my 4th or 5th time making it. And I've mastered it. I think what helps when making it is using 2% milk rather than whole milk. Its turns out much smoother. My family loves this icing and so do I. Its so easy to make.
