French Buttercream Frosting
This French buttercream frosting is great for icing cakes and writing on them. It gets hard when refrigerated, so you have to let it come to room temperature before serving. You cannot make flowers with this recipe. I use this recipe every time I make birthday cakes for my family.
Sausage Stuffed Onions
These sausage stuffed onions are time-consuming but worth it in the end. Use whatever onions you have on hand and whichever Italian sausage you prefer. I personally like red onions and hot Italian sausage best. These are company-worthy, and best served with bread for mopping up all of that delicious pan juice.
