I wonder if this would be better with a cream cheese type frosting like you find on carrot cake?

Can we use HEAVY CREAM instead of whipping cream? How about a stick of butter in there somewhere?

Sounds good, Irene. What time is dinner?

Usually I host Thanksgiving but because of our addition, I am passing the torch to my neice who is newly married. It will be her first Turkey (oh goodness…..). I'm really excited to pass on some traditions…..

Hey Guy's You can muster it up, however you want to. The Base has plenty of butter since I double it. On top the Vegetable Oil. I guess you could change that to butter if you want, never tried it tho.

Happy eating.

Peace and Love Mrs.
