#104 petal tip ... makes petals for roses and other flowers, also flat ribbons and borders.

Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix
makes a wonderful can’t-fail Decorator Icing

No need to make up a special separate batch of icing to decorate your cake! One package makes plenty to frost your cake and decorate it, too:

To 1 cup prepared Fluffy White Frosting...

Blend in 1 to 1½ cups sifted confectioners’ sugar (add a little at a time until frosting is stiff enough to hold its shape)....

Blend in 1 tbsp. soft butter and a dash of salt.

Note: Increase sugar and butter when using more than 1 cup frosting.

Is it thick enough? Is it thin enough? Try a little with the tip you plan to use. If too thin, blend in a little more confectioners’ sugar. If too thick, blend in a drop or two of water.

HOW TO USE YOUR CONE

1 Fit tip tightly into cone with one finger. Fill about half full. Fold top to keep icing in.

2 Hold near top of cone. Use other hand to guide tip. For most work, hold cone at 45° angle.

3 For drop flowers and rosettes, hold cone straight up and down. Press out icing, twist cone, and release.

10

Try out your decorator set with our
CROSS-STITCH CAKE

Here is a simple-to-start with cake that lets you have fun trying out all the decorator tips.

Tip: have an inverted cake pan handy, to try a few practice strokes on the back. Afterwards, you can scrape the frosting off the pan and put it back in your cone.

Let’s get started!

Bake cake in 15½×10½×1″ pan at 350° (mod. oven) for 25 min. Use 1 pkg. Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix to frost cake; save 1½ cups for Decorator Icing (p. 9). Tint ½ cup icing pale green. Make ABC’s and cross-stitch trim using #28 star tip. Use #4 writing tip for signature and date. Make a few flower stems in corners. Add leaves with #68 leaf tip. Tint ½ cup icing pink. Make roses, pansies, sweet peas using #104 petal tip (see below and next page). Tint ½ cup icing yellow. Make rosettes with #96 flower tip. Use #4 writing tip for flower centers.

TO MAKE ROSES:

1 Use #104 petal tip and flower nail. Hold cone with narrow opening of tip always up. Turning clockwise, make tiny circle for center of rose.

2 To form first petal, make standing half circle to one side of center. Add two more petals, forming triangle. Add petals, overlapping.

3 Remove rose from nail with kitchen shears ... cut almost through base of rose, place on cake, cut completely through, ease rose off.

11

A perfect cake deserves a perfect Frosting

Pansies: Use #104 petal tip. Hold cone with wide end of tip on cake. Make 2 flat petals, side by side. Add two smaller petals over larger petals. Connect with 1 larger petal. Add center.

Sweet Peas: Use #104 petal tip. Hold cone at 30° angle. Make one curved upright petal. Repeat on each side, making petals slightly flatter.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
