Reviews

We just won a prize at an adult Halloween party for these. We made a lab rat maze out of a computer paper box lid and strips of cardboard covered with foil--scotch tape held the strips in to make the maze walls (took about 10 minutes to make). We dripped fake blood on a note next the maze saying that these mice are for the taking and the the hammer (propped up against the maze) is the most effective way of killing them so you can eat them, unless you want to bite their heads off. We dressed as mad scientists. Recipe modification: instead of using licorice, make VERY realistic tails by rolling pieces of caramel into skinny tapering strips. Most of the comments we got at the party were about the caramel tails!

Coconut Cake III

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2002

I served this after Easter dinner yesterday. My husband, his parents, and I swooned over it. It was extremely rich, moist, and delicious. I have never baked anything that good. I made it with two round pans and it was gorgeous that way--very nice presentation on the side table. However, my two boys aged 4 and 6 didn't really like it. Maybe it's more of an adult dessert or maybe they had had enough Easter sweets already . . .?

Julia's Hot Cross Buns

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2002

I think a big part of this tradition is to cut crosses into the buns with floured scissors or sharp knife just before egg-washing them. Then you can spoon the icing into the grooved crosses after they come out of the oven. Also, I think they are supposed to be served hot. (I didn't think the icing in this recipe tasted good.)
