Yellow cake and icing

Yellow cake:
Cream together:
1 cup softened butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups buttermilk

Sift together:
3 3/4 cups flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 tsp baking soda

Mix wet and dry ingredients and pour into greased caked pans (or cupcake holders). Bake at 175C until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. This was the best, moistest yellow cake recipe I've found.

Buttercream Icing (thank you to Stacy Dyck)
1/2 cup solid shortening (we used butter last night, and it was fine)
1/2 cup butter softened
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar (again, we have used Russian and Czech before, and it's fine)
2 Tbsp milk

Cream butter and shortening. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time. When all is added, add milk and beat until light and fluffy. Add food coloring for desired color.

This icing recipe has worked great for us. Leslie, you might also ask Frances for her cooked frosting recipe. We've had great luck with that, too.

For the rest of you, who came looking for a blog post--I promise I'm working on it. But trust me, when you find a good recipe that works here, you have to share with your pals. Merry Christmas, everyone!
