Chocolate rose cake
So, just realized it had been a bit. :) I made chocolate frosting roses to go on a cake for a friend's birthday. Proportions for the frosting are 1 pound sugar, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/4 cup liquid. On mum's recommendations, I used 1/4 cup cocoa to flavor it. I did wind up tweaking it a bit for consistency. But humidity plays a role in that.
