Directions:

  1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Beat on low just until combined. Line a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with waxed paper; grease and flour paper. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Level the top of cake. Trace boot pattern onto waxed paper as directed on pattern and cut out. Place pattern on cake and cut around pattern. Place boot cake on a large serving platter or 16-in.-square covered board. Prepare frosting. Combine 1/2 cup frosting with milk to make a glaze; evenly spread over top and sides of boot. Refrigerate for 20-25 minutes or until completely set.

  4. Tint 3/4 cup frosting brown. Tint 1 cup dark blue and 1/2 cup light blue. Leave 1/4 cup white. Cover and refrigerate blue and white frostings. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert round tip. Fill bag with brown frosting. Following the pattern, outline the boot shape and inside design lines with brown frosting. Insert star tip in brown frosting bag. Pipe stars on top and sides of brown pater areas as shown in photo at far left.
