frosting from a blog I found somewhere.
Anyway, here is the bite cake recipe. They are really delicious and perfect for the holidays.
I remember my mom having a tray of them handy during the holidays when unexpected people would drop by. She would decorate the frosted top with 3 silver dragees or would pipe a few holly berries in red butter cream and a holly leaf. Gorgeous! But they are also just as delicious with the frosting only.
Years ago, my mom was a member of the Carthay Women's Club, bridge and all that. Mrs. Glenn was a member too and they took turns bringing dainty sweets. This bite cake was so good that my mom scored the recipe.
Mrs. Glenn's Tea Cakes
Carthay Women's Club
1 c chopped nuts (walnuts are great)
1 c brown sugar, packed
pinch salt
1/2 c flour, sifted
1/4 t baking powder
2 large eggs, separated
Beat yolks and add all dry ingredients. Stir well (it will look crumbly). Beat egg whites until stiff and fild in. Fill lined mini muffin pan ~ half full. Bake 14 minutes at 400.
While warm, frost with:
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 8 oz softened cream cheese
1 c sifted powdered sugar
1 t vanilla
a few drops almond extract
Mix together, to make spreadable thin with a little milk.
These will keep a week or so, but I bet they won't!
