This is a very good recipe. I marinated chicken thighs overnight and cooked them on a pan over the stove. It was a good alternative to my usual seasoning, and will make this again from time to time, thanks!

Easiest, Most Delicious Meringue Buttercream

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2010

I used only 2 cups butter and found it to be enough buttery flavor, also added a pinch of salt. It was not too difficult to make using an electric hand blender with the whisk attachment(for the egg whites and sugar mixing), and a stand mixer for the rest. Overall it takes some time to make, around 30-40 min., and it was good but not great for my taste. I think I prefer a simple meringue (egg whites, sugar and water) over this. I am not sure if I will make this again.

Fluffy White Frosting

Reviewed: May 15, 2010

This is a great frosting, exactly what comes to mind when I think of a cake from my childhood :) It turned out to be pretty easy (using a stand mixer), and looked beautiful on chocolate cupcakes. I added 1/4 tsp almond extract to the recipe; maybe next time I will substitute fresh (1) lemon juice for the vanilla extract -goes great with a white cake-, just like my mom used to, thanks!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2010

These cupcakes had a nice flavor and texture, especially since they are made from scratch... nothing extraordinary though. I think some adjustments have to be made if you really want RED cupcakes, these were kind of a redish-brown.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2010

These are very good !!! I used 1/3 c. oil instead of butter, and added chopped pecans to half the batter, but these are not absolutely necessary, the regular ones were as good. I got 14 muffins total. Thank you !!

Satiny Chocolate Glaze

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009

I followed the reviews and made this in the microwave (added the vanilla last), used this on a "fudge marble" bundt cake and came out delicious! I made the whole cake the night before, let it cool completely and refrigerated overnight. Then I let it sit at room temp for about 2 hours so the glaze wouldn't be so hard. Thanks for the recipe!

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009

I think this is a very good frosting, maybe just not that firm for piping purposes, though. I only substituted confectioner's sugar (1 3/4 c), used it on a chocolate bundt cake and garnished with fresh strawberries. I cut the cake in half and put some frosting and strawberries in the middle, and did the same on top. Everyone liked it, mostly because it was not excessively sweet, thanks for the recipe !

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2009

These are great! I was careful NOT to over mix the batter, and also substituted the white sugar in the topping with brown sugar. I had some topping left, so next time I will make half of it or double the batter. Thanks for a delicious and easy recipe!

Basic Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009

I reduced the amoount of sugar but I am not sure whether I used 2 or 3 cups. This is a good frosting, I used it on a chocolate cake and it was good, maybe a little too buttery for my taste, but overall it was a nice frosting. Thank you!

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2009

I decided to double the amount of sugar and vanilla, and turned out a little too sweet for a carrot cake, so next time I will make the recipe as is, I am sure it will be perfect! Using only half of the recipe was the exact amount for a 9" double layer cake. Thank you! UPDATE: I followed the recipe exactly and turned out excelent! Half of the recipe made enough for 24 mini cupcakes and 8 regular cupcakes, with very little left over, thanks!

Simple White Cake

Reviewed: May 27, 2009

It had a nice taste but I really did not like the texture, it was very dense and crumbly. I am not sure if I will do it again.

Buttercream Icing

Reviewed: May 22, 2009

I made a few changes: used all butter, reduced the amount of sugar (only used 3 cups) and doubled the vanilla (2 tsps). Halving the recipe made enough for 24 cupcakes and still had a little left over. Will be using it again definitely, thanks!

Black Bottom Cupcakes I

Reviewed: May 18, 2009

I followed the recipe almost exactly (only used milk instead of water) and got 17 cupcakes using all the cake batter and cream cheese mixture. I had tried a similar recipe using a cake mix and I like this version better (chocolate batter from scratch). Thanks for the recipe!
