Hester's Red Velvet Cake Icing

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2012

I have to agree with another viewer that this frosting tastes too strongly of shortening. It actually has left an aftertaste in my mouth, so I will have to try something else for my red velvet cupcakes. I suggest maybe using butter instead in this recipe. It is easy to make, but not to my liking.

Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2011

Even thought there seem to be plenty of great reviews for this recipe, I will never make it again. I used peaches and plums and was extremely disappointed in the taste. My family usually gobbles up everything I bake....not this time....it still sits in the fridge; will probably end up throwing the rest of it out...Oh well, live and learn! I still don't understand how it could have won first place in a contest...

Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2010

I think these are way too sweet--and I usually like sweet. Also, I would bake them 10 or 15 minutes longer. However, they were a hit at work, so I am adding one more star...

Quick and Easy Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2010

I probably should have decreased the flour like others said but decided instead to follow the recipe as is--was not impressed--I should have added chocolate chips--not chocolately enough for me. However, I brought them to work and everyone was loving them.....I melted chocolate chips on it when I took it out of the oven which resulted in a great frosting.

Fresh Strawberry Upside Down Cake

Reviewed: May 21, 2010

This recipe is simply the best if you love strawberries. You can make it just the way it's written and it is awesome. Brought it to work today for a birthday, and I had rave reviews. Don't be intimidated by turning the cake out of the pan. I greased it slightly with a little butter and ran a knife around it. Make sure it is totally cooled down. This cake is definitely a keeper!!!

Strawberry Cake II

Reviewed: May 17, 2005

I served this wonderful cake today at work for someone who is about to get married. I doubled the recipe and added a 16 oz pkg of frozen strawberries and used less oil. Needless to say, this cake was a great hit. It is a dense, moist cake, and I would definitely bake this again and again. I also frosted with fresh whipped cream and decorated with strawberries; a beautiful presentation. So all you strawberry lovers--go for it!!!

Moist Carrot Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2003

I brought this cake to work for a birthday and was told this was the best carrot cake ever!!!In fact, the birthday girl, who never eats cake, managed to eat a large piece. I will definitely make this again--thank you for sharing. Also, I added a tsp. of vanilla to the batter and made a fabulous cream cheese frosting. Please note--it is now 2009 and I continue to bake this carrot cake. The only changes I would make (not previously pointed out) would be to reduce the oil to one cup (or less) and to bake the cake at 350 degrees for an hour. Make sure to test center of cake for doneness, or it will fall in the center or not bake thoroughly.
