Re: [CnD] Roasting Vegetables
Hello, I don't have any recipes for u but I have heard that roasting vegetables will definitely bring out the flavor in them. I usually chop up squash and cook it on the skillet with olive oil and seasonings, but i decided to try something different for a change. So i took my mother's advice and cut the squash length wise, greased a cookie sheet with olive oil, salt, and pepper and placed the squash on the sheet seam side up and baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and i can honestly say that i was plesed with the results.

Re: [CnD] instant coffee/cocoa mixes; frosting cakes
Have never frosted cupcakes, but I use the back of a spoon, and then, very, very gently, spread it evenly with one of those rubber spatulas one uses to scrape out mixing bowls. I agree with the gentle touch in order not to leave fingerprints suggestion. Also take great care if you have to wrap up the cake at all--might be worth a nonstick wrapping or wrapping after the cake has been refrigerated. Making sure the cake is cooled is hugely important, or the frosting will become liquidy and run all over the place. Re: nondairy creamer, that stuff is awful for health, probably almost as bad or worse than margarine--hydrogenated oils to make it rich, and Titanium Oxide to make it white in appearance. Does anyone have a substitution suggestion, I hope? That stuff is pretty nasty.

[CnD] cake pan question
Hello, For an angel cake you need an angel cake pan with the tube in the center. For bundt cakes because they are denser cake again a pan with a tube in it is suggested. For any other regular cake you can put them in a sponge or bundt cake pan to cook has been my experience. I put layer cakes in slab cake pans and reverse. Christmas fruit cakes are a whole other story for pans. hth Donald ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Re: [CnD] Frosting Cakes or Cupcakes?
I also use a spoon and I use the tip of my index finger to make sure that the frosting is at the edge. Touch it very gently though, or you'll leave a finger print. I don't care when I'm frosting it just for me and my roommate, but if I take it somewhere, then I try to be more careful. Sometimes, since my roommate has sight, he does it for me.
