This recipe isn't bad- I've used it a couple of times, and the crab cakes are pretty tasty. However, they are overly greasy due to there being too much mayo in the mix. They also don't hold togther very well for the same reason- they are way too wet with so much mayo. Reducing the mayo and adding more Old Bay (and perhaps another saltine or two) would make this a great recipe.

I made the frosting, frosted the cake, and ate some within an hour. The bourbon was kind of overpowering, and this is coming from someone who likes bourbon a lot. However, by the next day it had mellowed and was really tasty. Next time I would either try adding less bourbon or making it the day before I was ready to frost the cake.
