2/29/08: Just in case you've sent me an email and have not received a reply, I assure you that I do reply to all of my email. However, lately some of my replies have been bouncing back and I suspect that your spam filters are the cause. If you don't hear back from me within a few days to a week of when you sent your email, try sending it again and maybe I will have better luck getting my reply to you the next time. kjackson and gapeach, my replies to you keep coming back.
I revised my Buttercream Frosting recipe slightly. This time I beat it with my electric mixer and it came out nicer and more fluffy. Again, I was amazed at how much this comes out like real frosting.

Hopefully they will help cover the cost of running my site. Let me know if you find any bad links or missing pictures and that sort of thing.
