recipe for really white icing
1 cup crisco
3 table spoons or more if you need warm water
1 tsp clear vanilla extract (it has to be clear )
7 to 8 cups sifted confectioners' suga
combine crisco, water and vanilla in a mixer and mix well tog
then you start to add the sugar ,not all at the time ,if you think you dont need all the sugar then dont add it all at once ,i used 7 cups and added a litle more water so i would start with 5 to 6 cups and add more if you think you need it
and thats how you get really white icing
i also found a huge cherry blossom tree ,and my daughter found this litle branch that somebody had taken of the tree and left it on a table ,so we took it home and are hoping to grow it but i need some help ,do i put it water and wait for litle roots and plant it in a pot then or what so if you know how to do that please tell me so i can give this litle branch its life back .
see ya leter i have to get ready for the long walk .

Svana...I don't think you can start a new tree from a branch!! Very few plants and trees will grow that way. the best thing to do is try and find a little tree at the plant store and grow it in your garden... :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day with hubby...and take care!!
Valeria, from what I know you could try to graft it into another tree (it's a special technique where you insert a branch on a different tree) but I don't know if it has to be another cherry tree or any tree will do... My father-in-law does it with cherry trees, olive trees, vines--he inserts branches of good trees into wild ones (or not too good ones) and they end up producing better quality fruits. I'm not sure if your branch will work for this but...

ReplyDeleteer crisco það sama og palmin? eða veistu hvað hægt er að nota hér?
ReplyDeleteby the way, æðislegar cupcakes hjá þér.
sko crisco er vegetable shortening og er oft notað í staðin fyrir smjör ,ég hef ekki séð það heima á Ísl ,en sp hvort palmamín dugar því crisco er mjög mjúkt eins og smjör þegar það stendur við stofuhita ,getur auðvita prufað að láta það standa við stofuhita og ath hvort það verður þannig að sé hægt að vinna það í hrærivél með flórsykrinum ,en ég er ekki viss um að þetta sé það sama samt
