Best Whip Cream for Cakes

I love making cakes but don't usually like the icings that are sugary and too sweet. This whip cream is light and fluffy and very easy to make. The picture below is a cake my fiance made for my 28th birthday. He made pineapple flavored cake, used this whipped cream recipe for the icing, and sprinkled rose petals on top. It came out SO beautiful.



1 quart heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup of powdered sugar (also known as confectioner's sugar)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean pod (optional)

Split vanilla bean pod open and scrap out vanilla bean seeds. They are black and very tiny; they will give the cream these wonderful little black dots like those you see in vanilla bean ice cream. Remember to keep the pod which can be used in other recipes.

Place whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds into a mixing bowl. With a hand mixer, start mixing on low and gradually increase to medium high. The liquid will start to thicken and you know when you have mixed enough when it has become the consistency of think whipped cream. This usually takes about 7 - 10 minutes.

Now you can spread the cream on top of your cakes for a delicious dessert! For two layer cakes, try adding fruit to the middle layer after you've spread on the cream; great for strawberry shortcakes!

Starbucks Baristas Don't Like The New "Skinny" Drinks

starbucksammich.jpgA few days ago Starbucks started their new "skinny" drink program. Ordering a drink "skinny" means you'd like sugar-free syrup, non-fat milk, and no whip cream. We didn't write about it because, um, you can already order that if you want , and we figured you didn't really care that a basic drink order had a new marketing nickname.

At least one Starbucks barista cares, however, and he/she has written a serious manifesto against the new "skinny" label and is flatly refusing to use it in his/her store. He/She has many reasons, most of which are complaints that the label is confusing and meaningless (what if a customer wants 2% and no whip cream? What then, Starbucks?) and will make the barista's job harder. On top of that, He/She is offended by the idea of yelling "skinny" all day long.
