Making Decorators Icing For Cake Decorating
PER BATCH:
1 bag confectioners (POWDERED) sugar, 1 cup CRISCO (Do NOT SUBSTITUTE--it will be greasy) and 1 tsp of butter flavoring. Then water added in VERY small amounts until this mixes to a good spreading consistency.
If you do make it too thin add more powdered sugar. Spread on a cooled cake with a long thin spatula. To make this really smooth dip the spatula in a glass filled with HOT water before spreading.
Cake decorating is really fun and stay at home moms can make LOTS of extra money doing cakes for family and friends. I never took a lesson--taught myself.

RE: End Cap for Crochet Hook
Well aren't you the Bomb?! (as the kids say) This is simply wonderful. Hey, did you know that you can buy a package of those little white rubber/plastic caps that go at the end of white wire shelving for closets? They come in 2 sizes and may fit at the end of smaller crochet hooks etc.
I'm betting that a pencil eraser might also work & just think of all the fancy shapes erasers come in. Just think, a Teddy Bear on the end of your crochet hook. I guess I might get in your way. Oh well, the idea was fun while it lasted! Hmmm, maybe erasers might be just the thing to stop your yarn from sliding off the end of double-ended knitting needles?

I really like that idea. I keep mine in a hard eye glass case that snaps closed. Yours is original and cute.

If you want a frosting that is not as sweet as this.... Cook 4 Tbsps flour and 1 cup of milk stirring constantly until it is thick. Place in small container and cover with plastic wrap until cold.
Beat well until smooth and then add the crisco and powdered sugar. It has a bakery texture and is wonderful. Add cocoa for chocolate and vanilla for butter icing.
