My mom emailed me after my post about Yodel Cake. Take note:
as i recall, perhaps you should grease the metal mixing bowl so that the sliced yodels don’t stick. you can put in different flavored ice creams. [aunt] gave me the recipe BEGGING me not to tell anyone EVER the secret. she, martha stewartesque, used to put in all different layers of different colored ice creams so that when you sliced it, it was gorgeous.
i appreciate the anti-mix tribute. one of [sister]’s horror stories is my making frosting for her school birthday cupcakes. no ingredients were in the house except cream cheese, so cream cheese frosting (from a cookbook recipe) it was. god forbid i would have gone to the supermarket to buy some prepared frosting.
As a carrot cake devotee, cream cheese frosting sounds pretty good, but I’m sure a six-year-old or however old my sister was at that point didn’t appreciate it.
