The flavors meld after storing a while. Frosting: 3 pounds of powder sugar thin with water to make a thin paste You really need two people to make these, one to cut and bake and one to frost. Aunt Jeannie made these for her wedding reception. They have been a Gurgel family favorite for years. I have always cut the batch in half for our family. Even at that it makes PLENT!
