Happy Holidays!

It's really hard to believe that this semester is practically over. The students have worked hard, learned a lot and hopefully developed an interest in cooking that will last their lifetime. When we return from Winter Break, they will all have a new elective class. So enjoy your break and best wishes for 2012!!

Buttercream Frosting

The last couple of days students have been busy making and decorating holiday cookies. I made the frosting for the students and so for those of you that asked about the recipe, here it is:

1 pound box or 4 cups of powdered sugar
2/3 cube of butter
1/4 cup milk (I always use a little extra milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!
