I bake a couple times a year and generally it is boxed stuff.
A couple weeks ago my partner and I baked a Lane Cake from scratch (with the Bourbon) and it was a lot of work. Saw the recipe in an article about "To Kill a Mockingbird" and it sounded good. Didn't have a double boiler so we improvised. Had to make the frosting twice as the first batch didn't set up well.
The cake is a hearty cake and I wasn't sure I liked it at first but it really grew on me.

Your cake is beautiful! Wowie, how do you do the icing that way!

1 6-ounce package Craisins Sweetened Dried Cranberries

1-1/2 cups of oats

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat butter or margarine and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well.

Makes approximately 2-1/2 dozen cookies.

I just used a rubber spatula. The frosting came out somewhat stiff and was easy to spread and manipulate. Just pulled it away from the surface and the peaks formed.
