Biscotti

I made biscotti for the first time. My mom loves it with hot chocolate. I learned it takes a long time to bake. Biscotti actually means "twice baked". We didn't have any almonds so my mom told me to put pistachio's in it. I made it with just chocolate chips. These turned out OK, but I think I will try a different recipe next time. This is why I didn't post the recipe. One tip is to get your hands wet when forming the dough because it is very sticky.

Cake Tips

For a moist cake: let cool 5 minutes then wrap in plastic and freeze until you frost. It will be easier to frost and yummier to eat.

If you live in high altitude add 1/4 c. flour.

Instead of spraying the pan with PAM mix equal parts crisco, flour, and oil. This can be stored in the cupboard or refrigerator. Brush this on the pan sides and bottom and the cake will come right out. I added 1/4 C of each and saved the rest.

I made this cake using fondant. I love working with fondant. It is like using play-dough.
