A very good basic frosting recipe. I doubled this recipe for a 2 layer cake. I used half butter flavored shortening and half regular and it was still white, despite the yellow coloring of the butter flavored shortening. I colored some with food dye for decorating the cake. Since I'm not a cake decorator, I just did the basic piping and wording. I had plenty of frosting left over. To me, this tastes just like the frosting you would get in a grocery store bakery cake. Very good for my purposes. Can't wait to try to make chocolate frosting and more from this recipe. I don't think I'm ever going to buy canned frosting again!

Good, but dense. I prefer a lighter muffin, but the kids and husband didn't mind them at all.

I've made these twice now...both times I took them out of the crockpot after they cooked a while and place them on a foil lined, lightly sprayed cookie sheet, brushed them with the sauce from the crockpot and put them in the oven to crisp up a little. The second time, they weren't quite done cooking when I placed them in the oven, so they didn't fall apart quite so easily while eating them. My very picky 13 yr. old son loves them and asks for them all the time. I don't use chili sauce as my base, but Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce...still comes out great! A 4 lb. pkg. of wings will cook in this sauce in 3-4 hours in a crockpot on high. Very tender and flavorful...I'll be making these wings often.
