Easy and looks fancy. It does just taste like biscuits with jelly, which are good, so this is too.

It was very easy, but pretty much just tasted like a very sweet biscuit with jelly.

Would never make again. I think it was gross. It sounded good but it just tasted like a Bisquik concoction with too much sugar (icing). Yes, it was easy, but I'd rather invest more time & ingredients and actually have a delicious pastry. I guess I was expecting something close to a Entanmnnen's breakfast pasrty. Not even my sugar-loving kids would finish it. We all felt a bit sick after wards... maybe we were all just on the brink of a diabetic coma, IDK.

There was way too much icing for this. I think that if I do it again I'm doing half of it. Also, the bread tastes mostly like the baking mix. Overall, this is just ok.

I LOVE this recipe. I've used blueberry preserves, raspberry Jam, and even apple pie filling. It always comes out delicious. Tip for anyone with soft dough...make sure your margarine and cream cheese is cold when you go to make your dough. It makes rolling out and shaping A LOT easier.

The crust tasted like "packaged baking mix". Which is what it should taste like however, this wasn't a favorite.

I have made this several times, and it is easy and delicious. I have never had a problem with the braiding part, and it looks beautiful when done. The glaze, with the almond flavoring, adds a lot of flavor to this, and I wouldn't make it without. I have only made this with raspberry jam, but I may try it with apricot or blackberry next. Overall, this is a great addition to a breakfast or brunch.

Yummy! I was tempted to add more jam because it didn't look like enough, but I'm glad I didn't...it would have been too sweet. The icing is yummy, too.

I used homemade blackberry jam for a filling and substituted a mix of lemon & orange extract for the vanilla and almond. The crust was light and flaky, and, as previously mentioned, the touch of cream cheese was a nice addition. For some reason, I'm not too thrilled with the *braid* presentation method - - - I'd like to try this same recipe with more of a danish layout. Will have to play around with it.
