This is a neat icing trick that I saw on the side of Duncan Hines cake mix box. It was especially useful for me when I wasn't sure if I had enough icing to frost my bundt cake or you could use this technique for a pound cake. You would use 1/2 cup of icing, any flavor that you are using, and put it into a small saucepan. Heat the icing up to where it will melt into a liquid that you are able to pour over your cake. Or you can just heat the icing in the microwave in its original container for 15 seconds. If the icing has been in the refrigerator, then continue 15 second intervals until it takes a liquid state.

Baker's Beginnings
I love to bake. I feel as it is a therapeutic thing that once processed can turn into something delicious and satisfying. I got my love in baking from my grandma. She was a farmer's housewife and she would normally do everything from scratch if possible. I would sit at the table and watch her dice, mix, roll something tasty into the oven and she would usually include me in it. My favorite smells were the freshly baked biscuits or sweet potato pie that lingered throughout the day after the goodies have been eaten.
So I only bake things here and there when I often get the time to, but really want to do it more often. This will be a blog of baking recipes, baking tips and other baking ideas that I may come across or try out for myself. There may be some cooking recipes and other savory items that I find yummy may as well.
