      I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I’m making it about their mom.

          Yes, you may.

          In fields where golden sunlight spills, The gentle cows roam free, With patient eyes and steady wills, They graze contentedly.

          Their coats of black and white or brown, A patchwork on the land, They softly low as sun goes down, A calm and peaceful band.

          In meadows green, they form a line, Their bells a tinkling song, With quiet grace and gaze benign, They move the day along.

          Oh, humble cows in pastures wide, With nature’s rhythm true, In every step and every stride, The earth sings back to you.

      For baking, I recomend King Arthur’s Recipe database.

      The frosting is an american buttercream- IMO sub the shortening for the same amount of butter… (the shortening tastes worse, it’s there to improve the color. Butter gives a slightly off-white. If you’re going to be adding food coloring and don’t care so much about taste… you can use all shortening for very brilliant colors. But, like. I won’t eat your baking.)

      (the reason I recommend KAF for recipes is mostly because they sell flour so the recipes are more or less fool proof- especially for things like GF treats. And if you fall to the ‘less’ side, they have a hotline to help get you sorted. no need to buy their flour, though.)
