Cream Cheese Frosting with Brown Butter and Bourbon

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2013

This is a very tasty frosting, but lacks the cream cheese flavor I was hoping for. Regardless of that - this frosting was very yummy in it's own right. I did not add the cream because the consistancy was fine without it. The color was beautiful and the vanilla bean added not only a fine taste but an interesting look with all the little vanilla specks! I doubled the bourbon which is probably why I didnt need the cream. Great frosting, but still looking for a cream cheese frosting that has a cream cheese taste. I WILL be using this recipe again though.

Moist, Tender Spice Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2013

The name of this cake lies ... this was THE most dry cake I have ever eaten. The spice mix was good, but it was so dry that it just crumbled. Aside from the odd way of combining the ingredients, there is way to much flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. If I were to make this again, which I won't I would only use 2 cups of flour, no corn starch and half the amount of baking powder. The batter is stiff and the cake doesn't rise much. I gave an extra star for the spice mixture.

Roasted Rack of Lamb

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2012

This was my first time making rack of lamb and I am so glad I used this recipe. It was great. I am not a big fan of rosemary so I used a little less rosemarry and added some tarragon. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a tasty, juicy, wonderful tasting Christmas dinner!
