Mama Mangia:

I just joined the forum today. Thank you for the pudding frosting recipe. I have a kazillion icing flavors in my stash but never, ever heard of this one. Thank you so much.

Also, for most of my 58 years, I have wondered how one secures the designation Master Chef. Any input will mean a lot to me. Thanks again.

Hi Sissy - I hope you enjoy the recipes - as far as "master cook" - it's nothing more than a title given by the site administrator to those that post recipes - the more recipes you post, the more your "title" changes - that's all.

Thank you, Mama. I've only been part of this forum for one day but I am having a ball. I hope to share as much as I'm shared with. Cooks and bakers unite!!
