Holy moly! 8-10 cups of powdered sugar in the frosting! But it does make a cute cake...

My most recent one is my Marshmallow Failure and I've got the photos to share: http://www.happygomarni.com/2010/04/marshmallow-failure-you-cant-win-em-all.html.

I thought I had ruined my KitchenAid standmixer whip attachment forever because it was near impossible to clean off from the sticky marshmallow mess! One day I'll try the recipe again, because I refuse to let the marshmallow win. But for now, I'm still in recovery mode. :)

wow that was an epic post! good sleuthing, guys! if you ever want to taste a west coast bagel, my absolute favorite is Izzy's Brooklyn Bagel in Palo Alto, CA. It's as good as or better than any bagel I've had in NY. MMMMmmm!! Now I want a bagel!

Handel's Ice Cream in Ohio is one of the most marvelous things on earth. My mom grew up in Youngstown, and so I've tasted it a handful of times during trips back east. Still, as wonderful as it is, everything in moderation, right? Wrong.

We're out in California where it's not so easy to get Handel's (unless we want to spend $90 on shipping and handling to have a pint mailed to us). So the last time we visited Youngstown for a family reunion, we had the biggest craving of our lives for Handel's. We were supposed to pack in seeing lots of family over just two days, and the only way to make that happen was to organize nonstop family visits to Handel's. In those two days, we had Handel's for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a late night snack. That should tide us over till the next Youngstown trip.

i've gotta say, my marlene sorosky Cooking for Entertaining is pretty darn stained! oh, and my lori longbotham Luscious Chocolate Desserts. oh, and my family cookbook, not available in stores anywhere! :)
