"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Aunt Jeanne sent me this note in reply to a compliment.
Dear Anne, This is going to be a very quick note. If you liked the icing I made for Gail's cake, here are the amounts I used for each batch....
I think I made 6 batches for the wedding cake. Also, just before spreading the icing on the cake, since it's a large amount, I put part of it at a time in a bowl & stir it smooth with a spoon. Its easier to work with smaller amounts & to whip it smooth just before putting in tube or spreading. Does that all make sense.

Have fun and say hello to everyone for us.
Love, Jeanne
