Home Economics 101

Welcome to the Home Ec Section. Matters of the family sometimes bring joy and other times bring grief. But it is never trivial: Family matters! Feel free to discuss topics such as the sanctity of marriage; the awesome responsibility of raising children; the struggles of communication problems; the grief of losing a loved one; or anything else that relates to the home and family. However, due to the more personal nature of this section, I ask that you would be especially thoughtful of the readers' feelings. My earnest hope and prayer is that the discussions in this section will help families grow in the love of Christ.

But remember, always play by the rules: here

  • Frosting for Cookies

    I plan to do Christmas cookies with frosting. I've made buttercream frosting to get the proportion of butter to sugar right, but it's with vanilla. We used to flavor the different colors with extracts of peppermint, lemon, etc. I suppose I would need to make the frosting without vanilla?

    I would leave the vanilla out. You don't need it, really, if you are adding the other flavours. The amount of vanilla in the frosting won't make a difference to the consistency of the mix, neither will the other flavours.

          I don't like royal frosting. Or whipped whatever frosting. Got to have the real stuff.

              It depends on the icing. a Vanilla can be mixed with others and make a very rich flavor (hence the reason for the additive) but if you want just the plain single flavor, stick with lemon, peppermint, almond etc... Also if you want icing to not melt or be used as a decorative use a mix of shortening and butter.

                The idea of mixing flavors is worth trying. Hmmm...

                  ...I've done shortening but it's just not the same.

                    I have no expertise in this subject, but I just wanted to say that my 3 year old daughter loves to watch cookie decorating videos on youtube. I think she may have found a hobby young.
