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 bottoms only of 2 round pans, 8 or 9 x 1 1/2 inches, with shortening. Make cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil and eggs. Pour into pans.
2 Bake 8-inch rounds 33 to 38 minutes, 9-inch rounds 28 to 33 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of pans to loosen cakes;
remove from pans to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
3 Leave 1 cake layer whole for body. Cut second cake layer as shown in diagram. Freeze pieces uncovered about 1 hour for easier frosting if desired. Cover large flat tray or piece of cardboard
with aluminum foil. Arrange uncut layer and the pieces on tray to form cat as shown in diagram. Frost cake with frosting, attaching pieces with small amount of frosting. Cut slice off bottom of
each yellow gumdrop; use slices for eyes. Use black gumdrop for nose and shoestring licorice for whiskers, lines on eyes and to outline paws. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

High Altitude (3500 to 6500 feet): Do not use 8-inch rounds. Make cake mix following high-altitude directions on package for 9-inch rounds.

Betty's Tip Can't find black shoestring licorice? Use black decorating gel instead; you can find it near the cake and frosting items in your supermarket.
