I didn't really follow the instructions. I wanted more ham & potatoe in the soup that liquid, so I used about 5 potatoes & 1 bag of diced ham. I didn't have the bouillon the recipe called for, so I used chicken broth like another reviewer did. And I didn't use celery, I used a bit of celery flakes. Next time I make this recipe, I'll reduce the water & use garlic instead of celery.

Rolled Fondant

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008

This didn't work out for me at all when I made it. I had to throw it away, but I think it was because I put too much powdered sugar in the fondant. Next time, I'll try it with less powdered sugar.

Banana Crumb Muffins

These are the best muffins every in the entire world. I substituted the 1/3 cup of butter for oil, and they were fantastic! I will make these again!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2008

This truly is fantastic! I made this as my first pie, and I was really amazed! I used red apples instead of the green apples because I don't like the tart flavor, and I used some of the suggestions like adding cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to the filling and pouring the filling in with the apples instead of on top of the pie. DELICIOUS!

Ruth's Grandma's Pie Crust

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2008

I made this crust with the "Apple Pie by Grandma Ople" recipe from this website. It turned out really well. I used butter flavored shortening like someone suggested, and it turned out crunchy and flaky. I was really surprised as a first time pie maker!

Satiny Chocolate Glaze

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

I really enjoyed the texture and flavor of this glaze when it was warm, and I drizzled it on top of the cake; however, after a day or two, it just wasn't as good. I probably won't use it again unless I keep it separate to warm before adding it to the cake.

Four Egg Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

The flavor was very good. Everyone wanted it without icing; however, it was a little dense and crumbly. It was hard to level out for stacking.

Marble Swirl Pound Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

The flavor of this cake was pretty good, but my swirl didn't turn out very pretty ... I think that if I try it again, I won't swirl, I'll just pour the chocolate on top.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

This bread had a really good flavor, but I didn't like how dense it was. I agreed with one of the other reviewers that if you're looking for a muffin type bread, this isn't it.

I found this recipe in a cookie cook book, and I altered it slightly. These are my alterations that have made them my family's favorite.

Grandma's Sour Cream Pound Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2008

I used lemon zest instead of the mace, and that worked out really well. I think next time I make this cake, I'll also make a lemon glaze for the topping to help moisten the crust.
