Awesome Sharon, it looks like a spa treatment for you KA What is on your counter? I've been putting down wax paper, but I would love to do something reusable

That is just a big bath towel. When I get ready to do a lot of mixing, I put the big bath towel under the mixer and along the counter. That contains a lot of the mess while making lots of batter and icing. I leave it there to catch the wetness from the spa treatment. Then when all done, I ball up all the towels and right into the washer they go. And then counter clean up is a breeze!

And this is why you made my hero list. This is a much better plan and we have tons of old towels I can use just for this purpose. Cheaper, greener and cleaner...yippee!

Christeena: I would have to say that I use 10 T because of the type and brand of flavorings that I use. There are some that I wouldn't use that much in because it would be too strong. Flavorings such as Loranns or wedding bouquet would be too strong. I use a mixture of clear butter and clear vanilla from Wilton. I have had the best results in this area with that so I switched back from other brands.

Inspired: Gotcha! Really makes a dif on what brands you use and their strength in flavor!
