This was a huge disappointment. I followed the recipe to a T on this one. The cake would not cook through and after 50 minutes in the oven the center was still "liquid" and the edges were burning. As for the taste, I don't know if it was the buttermilk or what, but it was terrible and almost tasted like cornbread and baking soda. The part of the cake that did cook was extremely crumbly and also had a "cornbread-like" texture. Will not make again!

After reading all the rave reviews this recipe was a huge disappointment and not near as easy as other reviewers led me to believe. The fondant literally broke my mixer because it was so thick and hard to stir. After adding about a lb more in powdered sugar than this recipe actually called for the dough finally got "less sticky" at least to the point where I could roll it out some. However, it wasn't thick enough like store bought fondant and tore much to easily. It had a play dough texture only softer so you had to be EXTREMELY careful with it. Since it had to be rolled out so thick to avoid tearing the recipe didn't go a very long way and I didn't even have enough for one novelty cake the size of a regular sheet cake. As for the taste, it's better than store bought fondant, but it's not by any means good. It's sugar overkill and your much better off just making a regular buttercream or cream cheese frosting. I will not make this again.

Wow this was GOOD! I normally don't care for salads much because there just isn't enough to them for me. However, this salad was delicious and I could definitely eat this by itself for a meal. The feta cheese and the raspberry dressing were the best parts! Those who substituted these for other ingredients really missed out. This salad has great presentation too. Next time I have to cook dinner for guests this will definitely be on the menu!!
