Happy birthday to one of The Girls! I wish there was a witty rationale for the Duck Cake, but there isn't. I'm not trying to imply the birthday girl is an ugly ducking. She's not. She's cute and ducks are cute, and it's a fun pan that I haven't used in several years. I used the yummiest gooiest icing you'll ever taste, if you're in the market for yummy gooey icing!Snow Peak Frosting
1 1/4 cups white corn syrup
2 egg whites at room temp.
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
A prayer and a pinch o' love
Heat syrup until boiling. Mix egg whites on high with electric mixer until "peaks" form. Add salt. Slowly pour in syrup, continuing to beat until frosting is fluffy and hangs from beater in "peaks." Fold in vanilla. Dye is preferred. This icing is best served fresh.
It wasn't long before our poor little duck began to age. Is this a bad omen for the birthday girl? I sure hope not! Duckie did not age well.
A little reconstructive surgery and our birthday girl was happy.

The duck cake was DELICIOUS!!!! One with the "cup half empty" might see it as aging, yet on the other hand, with the "cup half full" I saw it as the fat melting off!!!!
