Mr. Egg Easter Egg, the Lemon Custard Cake with Vanilla Cream Frosting, is the Pillsbury Doughboy's Latest Victim

The recent economic downturn has taken it's toll even on one of America's most iconic figures: the Pillsbury Doughboy. Struggling to make ends meet, doughboy has been forced into 'cake burglaring' to feed his well known obsession with baked goods. This photo, taken by an eye-witness, shows doughboy engaging in one of his most recent acts of cake vandalism, with a suspicious vintage vehicle parked in the background. The expensive detailing on the vehicle suggests that doughboy may now be involved in a lucrative underground sugar ring. A thorough police investigation is sure to follow.
Story By My hubby, Jose A. (hehe! This is what we do at 11 PM on Thursday nights)

Vanilla Cream Frosting Ingredients:

3 cups powdered sugar
4 tsp dried egg whites
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 stick very softened butter
1-2 tsp cold water

(I've yet to make a healthy version of this! At least this one uses less shortening than most others - I will keep experimenting!)
