Dusted to Death

by Barbara Colley

  Red Velvet Cake Icing

  3 tablespoons cornstarch

  1 cup milk

  2 sticks margarine

  1 cup sugar

  1 teaspoon vanilla

  Cook cornstarch and milk in a double boiler and stir constantly (mixture must not be lumpy). After mixture thickens, cool completely. In separate bowl, cream margarine, sugar, and vanilla; then add to first mixture and beat until fluffy. (Note: if you’re very careful, you can cook cornstarch and milk mixture in the microwave instead of a double boiler, but stir often. Remember, it must not be lumpy.)
