HA! Buttercream frosting IS dead sexy, now that I think about it! And your fellow bakers will thank you the next time one of them needs frosting for a project. They can just take some from the Susan-high stack in the freezer. Actually, 7 cups of frosting from a single batch sounds like a truckload. How much cake can you frost with that? A couple of layer cakes, or just one? So good to know it can freeze and be used later. I have to confess, I don't have any cakes on my horizon, but this looks like a fun Saturday afternoon project just to see if I can do it. Thanks for the brilliant lesson. You're entirely welcome! 7 cups is a lot; you can do a 3-layer 8- or 9-inch cake, or a double layer 10-inch with leftover for piping and other fun. I've never worried overmuch about having leftover, since it freezes so well, and there's always a birthday out there waiting for a bit of buttercream to pipe salutations with! Susan
