Softball Cake
For this cake I used a simple box mix for the cake it self and a homemade vanilla frosting. My 16 year old neighbor recently made the varsity softball team at our local high school- Definitely something worth celebrating! The frosting recipe was taken from the cook book, "Taste of Home: Cup Cakes, Muffins and More".
Vanilla Frosting:
2 cups of confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
*Makes 1 cup
For this cake I doubled the recipe and had a little bit left over even after decorating the cake.
Tip: To smooth out the frosting on the top and on the sides I kept a cup of hot water next to me and frequently dipped my knife into it- it helps to soften the frosting and give it more a smooth and even appearance.
