another third, add a few drops vanilla essence and pink coloring; mix

Quick Tip
To
cream fat easily: remove from refrigerator or larder half an hour
before use. If it is still too hard to cream, warm the mixing bowl with
hot water and dry it before putting the fat in. Heating the fat itself
causes it to become oily.
