SET M.CUP IN 1"BOILING WATER

BEFORE STARTING!: Prepare cake as below. *Sift 2 lbs p.sugar into a large bowl w/round bottom; Make "well" in center of the sugar for wet ingredients **Use only Knox brand, others are different! ***1 small bottle of Country Kitchen glycerine= 1 tb. ****Dip spoon in boiling water, then measure Crisco. *****The "x" is used for the database, ignore. DIRECTIONS: 1. BEFORE YOU MIX INGRED.: Spray the table <where dough will be rolled out> w/PAM & dust table/rolling pin <using a sieve> w/cornstarch/conf.sugar mixture. 2. Prepare cake: Bake cake & place on 2 STURDY! foil-wrapped card boards the size of the cake. <Have fancy STURDY! tray ready that is 3-4" larger than cake.> "Cur tains" break if c.board flexes! A solid cake should be used, such as FRUIT, CARROT or POUND cake should be used. Torte as usual. Set aside to cool several hours. I have used reg. cake.

Fill in any holes or uneven places with butter- cream icing so cake is nice & smooth. 3. With your hands, rub something sticky on the cake <for rolled icing to stick to>. I use *apricot filling -the kind baker's use. You can use piping gel for fake cakes. * Coat the cake <just> before making the icing. You wouldn't want this to dry over. 4. Put 1 rounded ts Knox Gelatin in a glass measuring cup; add cold water to equal ¼ cup. Stir until gelatin is dissolved.
