***THIS RECIPE CAN BE STORED 4 days room temp, 2 weeks fridge, 2 months freezer
**its fine to store it in the fridge/freeze, but just know that you will now have to bring it back to room temperature. Take it out HOURS before you need it, and let it get to room temp, then you will put it back on the mixer and with the PADDLE attachement on low- medium and let it mix, it will look as if it is BROKEN, and curdled, dont be alramed this is NATURAL, it will come back together eventually, you can turn the speed up to med-high and it will mix out smooth
