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!!

To prepare the frosting: Tint frosting with blue food color until blue. Cover and set aside until ready to use.

To prepare the wheels: Cut the pound cake as shown below (A). Set "body" of car aside. Using the two cut-out cake pieces, cut two wheels from each with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Trim each wheel to 1 1/4 -inch thickness. Holding each wheel with a wooden skewer, frost one side and edge lightly with frosting; roll in chocolate decors to completely coat. Place on waxed paper, unfrosted-side down, to dry. Using a dab of frosting, fasten one of the hard peppermint candies to each wheel for a hubcap.

To make the head lights: Using a small dab of frosting, fasten one of the yellow gumdrops to each of two doughnut-shaped hard candies.

To make the tail lights: Using a small dab of frosting, fasten one of the red gumdrops to each of two remaining doughnut-shaped hard candies.

To prepare the cake: Brush loose crumbs from surface of body of car with a soft pastry brush. Place on cake board. Smoothly frost all surfaces with frosting.

To decorate the cake: Before the frosting sets, attach wheels to body of car. Attach head lights to front of car and tail lights to back of car. Use black or purple gumdrops for door handles. Use 4-inch lengths of licorice for top and bottom of front and rear windshields and use 1-inch lengths for side and center lines of windows (B). Use 1 1/2 -inch lengths of licorice for windshield wipers.
