Flatten the chicken breast. Season the chicken with S& P and Italian seasoning. Layer the ingredients ham, cheese, mushrooms, and spinach.

Roll up the chicken and wrap bacon around it. Use a kabob skewer to hold it together. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on the outside.

Butter Cream Icing

There are lots of recipes on line for butter cream icing. Here is one that I liked.

2 sticks of butter

4 cups of powdered sugar

1-3 tablespoons of milk (depending on the consistency you want)

1 teaspoon of vanilla

Mix until smooth and combined. Put into a piping bag with a tip that you like and decorate.

Tips for icing

  • The thinner the icing is, the easier to spread on a cake.

  • The thicker the better for the piping bag and tips.

  • The icing begins to melt with the heat of your hand so if that happens put it in the refrigerator for an hour.

  • Have multiple couplings to have more piping bags with colors in them.

  • Disposable bags are easier cleanup.

  • Use a prepared cake mix for convenience.

  • We made cupcakes to practice on. It gave us more surfaces to try more tips out.
