All Saint's Day Cookies

I did spell out "Happy All Saint's Day" in letters, but I did not take a picture, with the rest of the dough, I made fall shapes. This recipe comes from page 46, of the book The Cookie Jar. It was originally a recipe for Christmas cookies. The gray leaves are my poor attempt to make brown. I would definately make this again, but with less runny icing. A lot of the icing seemed to end up on the newspaper, which my son tried to eat whenever I was not looking.

Yellow Cake with Buttercream Icing, for All Saint's Day

Happy All Saints Day

This was a basic Yellow Cake recipe, from the Better Homes and Garden Cook Book. I would post it, but I cannot find the book. I can't find the book that I got the Buttercream Icing recipe from either. This cake was very light tasting and the buttercream icing was rich and smooth. I had to double the recipe to make enough icing to frost the cake initially and the decorations on the cake were made from a second, more stiff buttercream.

My children decided to reach over the cake and mess up the lettering. It is very hard to keep kids away from cake. As of posting this, about half of the cake remains.
