Made this bread about a week ago, as an experiment to see how well I make bread on my own outside of school (I'm a culinary student). There were a few things I noticed that weren't absolutely perfect, but I've pretty much traced the issues (the crumb was slightly too dense and close, and the crust wasn't as golden-brown as I'd have liked it to be) to my mixing/kneading technique. Over all, this was a -great- recipe, and even with the slight problems, it was gone in a matter of hours! Very tasty, very easy recipe. Will definetly make this one again.

This was pretty good - I just made a bunch to give away as holiday presents. I would suggest that anyone interested in trying this use a fairly dense cake - I made a devil's food/chocolate frosting batch and a spice cake/cream cheese frosting batch, and the spice cake combo was a bit tough to hold together. Either way, they came out really well. Will definitely make these again. Super easy, and with a little practice the finished product looks very impressive.

Just made this recipe for dinner, and to be honest, it wasn't anything special. Flavors were good, just...boring, I guess. Don't think I'll make it again.
