If you are talking about the filling, I'm not sure as the recipe was made for a cream cheese filling.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-5134736098905239622009-11-24T19:11:55.460-05:002009-11-24T19:11:55.460-05:00I'm afraid I'm a little confused by some p...I'm afraid I'm a little confused by some parts of the recipe. For example, 'Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the cream..' In two batches? Two batches of what? Am I separating something? And how much is alternated with cream?<br />Also, if I wanted to try a different kind of cream... say, store bought whipped cream. Would that work just as well?<br />I kind of need to make this tomorrow, so a quick response would be awesome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-32065784978749205082009-05-08T12:36:00.000-04:002009-05-08T12:36:00.000-04:00Oh dear lord...

The person who wanted it didn't get it, but was outbid by someone well above her pay grade.<BR/><BR/>The neat thing, is that the person who bought it is the same person who bought it last year! I've got a fan -- how cool is that!<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I used a more traditional creamcheese frosting (ie butter, cc, vanilla and xxx sugar) because I thought the version in the recipe was not great. However, I realize that the more traditional one isn't as stiff, and maybe that's why Martha did it the way she did.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the recipe!<BR/><BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-78615060594246075302008-10-20T22:02:00.000-04:002008-10-20T22:02:00.000-04:00Amy - I do remember that... you sent me pictures t...Amy - I do remember that... you sent me pictures too!
