Buttercream Frosting
This is a buttercream frosting I normally put on birthday cakes. It's like the frosting that bakeries put on cakes, extra rich and creamy from the egg yolk, but I much prefer to make my own since I know what I am putting into it, and as always, homemade is best. Makes 2 1/2 cups or enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 8- or 9-inch layers.

Perfect Cherry Pie
Cherry pie is just about the easiest fruit pie to make. Sour cherries — the kind you need for pie — are rarely available fresh or frozen, so the canned variety usually is the only option for most cooks. Not only do canned cherries make good pies, but there's also no peeling, coring, seeding, pitting, or slicing the fruit. Just drain, dump, sweeten, flavor, and thicken, and you're in business!
