Waiting for My Party
Waiting for My Party
I'm standing in the rose garden at the side of our house. I'm wearing a white (with red dots) Dotted-Swiss dress with a red (with white dots) Dotted-Swiss top. I'm waiting for guests to arrive for my birthday party. I remember being excited and watching the road for cars. I remember watching mom make frosting for my cake by cooking it and beating it with the electric mixer at the same time. I learned years later that particular frosting is called 7-minute frosting because you make it using a double boiler and whipping it on the stove for 7-minutes. I remember the taste and the feel of the icing on the cake but I don't remember what the cake looked like. I don't remember the party but I managed to find this photo which backs up my memory. I can identify Shirly Rush, myself, and Danny Baptista.

I've been thinking all day about 7 minute frosting...was it egg whites, sugar and vanilla??? I remember my mom making it, and I did too, years ago...but can't remember now it that was it.
