Conchas (Mexican Sweet Bread)
Easy to make, but didn't care for the dough or the topping. To me, I think the dough should have been slightly sweeter and less dense. The topping was okay, but the texture was a bit odd. Put together, it was pretty flavorless. I would not make again.

Empanadas
Made exactly as recipe stated. I didn't care too much for the preserve filling and it leaked all over the place. I think the one reviewer had a good suggestion in cooking down the preserves a bit before baking. I crimped pretty well and didn't overstuff and they still leaked out. I think next time I will use apple pie filling. I think that would be fabulous. The dough was very easy for me to work with. I didn't have any sticking problems as some reviewers have stated. Very unusual to use cream cheese, but it turned out great.

Irish Cream Bundt Cake
Followed the recipe exactly as written except did the thing with soaking the cake upside down in the pan. While the cake was nice and moist, it pretty much tasted like a yellow cake. I didn't catch any hint of Irish cream except through the glaze. The texture of the cake was a little more akin to pound cake, in my opinion. Very dense and moist. Not bad, just not super great. I think next time I will use 1 cup Irish cream instead of water and Irish cream. Maybe try it with caramel Bailey's for a little more kick in the taste department. It's a recipe I will make again, but definitely needs modifications, otherwise to me, it's just a waste of good Bailey's if it's just going to taste like yellow cake.
