Grandma Allred's Frosting
When we were little we lived with Grandma and Grandpa Allred for about a year. Grandma made wedding cakes on the side and our favorite days were when we came home from school and Grandma was in the middle of making one of these delicious cakes. Although it meant we had to stay away from the dinning room, it also meant that we got to eat the cake scraps along with her delicious frosting. I'm not a big fan of frosting, but to this day I LOVE Grandma Allred's wedding cake frosting.
