The Mystery of the Magenta Icing

Sometimes one provides one's own amusement without even realizing it; perhaps life is more Oscar Wilde-ish than we realize. Especially with a memory-sieve like my brain, there's always my blog for little surprises and occasional delights.

Yes, it was another google: "how to make magenta frosting". An odd request, certainly, but not beyond making sense of as some are. The mystery taunted me: had I ever actually written about how to make magenta frosting? I'd have thought I'd remember such a thing but no recollection came to mind; however, the google was quite specific that "Spam & Corn Chowder", in this very blog, mentioned magenta icing.

Mystery solved! It was not I but the ever-faaabulous Chris who brought mention of magenta icing in his comment to that article in which he revealed the secret to making "Bishop's Cake", replete with magenta icing!

Naturally I am not going to reveal the secret right here. Wouldn't it be far more fun to try to guess the answer before clicking the link?

Fortunately my blog is online, so I always have something fabulous to read.
