Sangria by the Pros

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
I may have had to modify it a bit for the amount that I actually had to make but I think I stuck to the heart of the recipe and it was fabulous! Add a touch of cinnamon for something extra.

Warm Flourless Chocolate Cake with Caramel Sauce

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
I gave it four stars because I think maybe a flourless cake can never be the same or as good as a cake with flour, yet this one was delicious and I believe everyone at my party enjoyed it. I did not make the caramel sauce and served it warm with vanilla bean ice cream which was a hit.

Asparagus Wrapped in Crisp Prosciutto

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
Sooo easy to make and sooo delicious. I served them at a party last night and everyone went crazy over them! I used half a piece of prosciutto for each asparagus which was perfect, and actually cooking them for 10 minutes did leave them a tad crispy, which was great!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2008
Not terribly impressed for the sound of the title and all the other reviews...I am in search of the perfect chocolate chip cookie...this really didn't satisfy it. It's ok, it's fine actually and pretty good, just not the greatness I had envisioned. Easy recipe, no alterations need to be made.

Black Forest Cake II

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2008
I just served this cake last night for a birthday party and everyone LOVED it....I made the following changes: the base cake is fine as is...as one reviewer mentioned it can be fragile so use extreme care and finesse when handling the layers. I only used about half of the amount of Kirshwasser mentioned (approx. 1/4 cup)...I was afraid it would be too strong...regretfully you couldn't really taste it with 1/4 a cup...so next time I will put closer to the required amount of 1/2 cup. The buttercream frosting is interesting...everyone has made changes to it, it's one of those things that you taste and you add what you think it needs as you go along. I only put some of the sugar called for...probably more like half (1.5 cups) because it was very sweet, I doubled the butter and added about 6-8 tablespoons of coffee. If you want it to have any coffee taste you definitely need more than 1 tablespoon of coffee. It tasted great, next time instead of putting 2 sticks of butter, maybe I'll keep it at 1 or 1.5 so the butter taste is a little less. I did not put cherries in the cake, only put maraschino cherries on top for decoration. The whipped cream frosting is very nice, I left out the kirshwasser and added about 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar as it was better with some sweetness instead of blandness. Excellent cake, I will make again.
