      We did have a BC discussion on this. I did not save the thread. I think MrsCindy made whipped cream with it and she thought it was worthwhile.

        Last night, we did not have a new show on at 8:P Central...there was a custard show on at 7:P Central but we had seen that last week as a two hour show...chocolates and custards.

        So, I went looking and found this:

        http://abc.go.com/shows/the-great-american-baking-show

        It says this is an 8-series show and we have had six of them so far...so I think there is a semi-final and the final show left.

          The Baker's Cinnamon Filling has ClearJel in it...listed as modified food starch in the ingredients:

          It very well may soak up butter as it is a thickener.

            Those cookies really look nice, RiversideLen!

            And the breads and buns look outstanding...great job!

                Bronx...so nice to see you here and I hope you will join us more in the days ahead. I'm not a fancy cook or baker but I have been doing much of both for more than 57 years, so I have plenty of tips and tricks to share along with some flops and not-so-great results, as well. The folks here are nice and helpful.

                    I have no hand mixers but want to share a place we have used for years that has parts for nearly every brand on the market. Husband always has something broken on his chainsaw and I have ordered on Sundays and had parts on Thurs. Parts came by FedEx Home.

                    They have shipping for $ 7.44, $ 11.45 and one other category, I think. I pulled up the page that shows all the brands they have. They even have parts for Vita Mix. I have purchased vacuum sweeper parts there and power saw parts and on and on. Their website is very handy to use and they send emails with links to the shipping details.

                          This is the one that tried with all of her might to draw attention to herself in the 2015 series:

                          Nia Vardalos

                          She seemed tamed way down on last week's show and actually talked very little.

                          If the show is on for two hours each week, I doubt I'll be able to stay awake and I like to watch a one hour news program at 9:00P so I can get the weather and fairly local news. I'll try to watch most of the series as I enjoy learning new things.

                            No my recipe is not here. I never had it in my BC recipes, just in the Red Velvet Cake thread. It was such a nice long thread. RandyD started the thread and I always searched on Waldorf to pull up the thread.

                            I also had three or four, maybe more, Red Velvet Cake recipes in this thread that I had posted from local community/church recipe books.

                            I helped taratara with this frosting recipe as it filled the bill for something she wanted to make.

                            This thread was listed by me in a group of threads we needed to save...it was with my white cake thread with all the favorite white cake recipes on the BC that I put together. The favorite pumpkin recipes thread was in the group and also the zucchini bounty thread. I still have to get the zucchini thread moved here. I did not save this Red Velvet thread. I have the list of thread links for this group we needed to save on another computer in Word as well as BCers recipes we needed to save.

                            My frosting recipe told of beating the frosting for 8 minutes so the sugar would not be gritty. And I told about the Crisco making a much nicer and more fluffy frosting. The flavorings were also mentioned in that thread.

                            I think there was a muffins thread link in the group of links, also.

                              Prepared Pantry sells the Baker's Dry Milk and cheaper than KAF. They talk about the taste and more here:

                              https://www.preparedpantry.com/dairy-baking-ingredients.aspx/dry-milk.aspx

                              Scroll down a ways to read their product comments.

                              I don't think I'd waste expensive frosting ingredients trying it out to see if it would work.

                                The cooked flour/milk frosting is my favorite frosting aside from German Chocolate homemade frosting.

                                We had many threads on my recipe and variations on the BC but I do not like it made using butter. Crisco makes it much better and more fluffy in my opinion. Mine is much like Twinkie and Ding Dong cakes filling.

                                I use many oil flavorings and they work so well with this frosting. Lemon, orange, coconut, butter pecan, peppermint, pumpkin, pralines and cream and so many others are great with this frosting.

                                  The KAF Baker's Special Dry milk does not reconstitute in liquids.
