I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

1 Heat oven to 350°. Grease bottom only of rectangular pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches, with shortening. Make cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil and egg whites. Pour into pan.
2 Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely,
about 1 hour.
3 Cut cake as shown in diagram. Freeze pieces uncovered about 1 hour for easier frosting if desired. Reserve 1 cup frosting. Tint remaining frosting with food color; reserve 1/2 cup.
4 Cover large flat tray or piece of cardboard with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Arrange cake pieces on tray as shown in diagram. Trim pieces to form slippers. Frost sides of both slippers with pink
frosting. Frost top of each slipper about 3 inches from the edge for the toes, tapering to about 1 inch around the outside edge for the rest of the slipper. Frost the center oval with reserved
white frosting.
5 Place reserved 1/2 cup pink frosting in decorating bag with writing tip. Pipe a small beaded border where pink frosting edge meets white edge. Pipe a small bow at each toe with pink or white
frosting. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

High Altitude (3500 to 6500 feet): Make cake mix following high-altitude directions on package for 13 x 9-inch rectangle.

Betty's Tip To give the frosting a fabric-like appearance, carefully cover frosting with a paper towel and gently pat; remove towel. It's easier to do this before piping the beaded border and bow. For an extra-special touch, look for paper towels with an imprinted design, such as circles or swirls. For ballet laces, attach wide, pink ribbon to sides of slippers.

Cutting and Assembling Ballet Slippers Cake

Cut cake lengthwise in half. Trim corners to round.
