Icing on the Cake

The icing on this cake is pure evil . . . 1 lb butter, 1 lb cream cheese, 4 cups confectioners sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 tsp bourbon.


By my calculations, the frosting itself is in excess of 5000 calories.


The mixer actually struggled (only for a moment) with the amount of butter and cream cheese, but in the end, 575 watts prevailed.


Some toasted pecans later and the cake is ready to go. Hopefully it tastes good . . . time for the birthday celebrations.
