I followed other reviewers and added the sugar to the warm paste. I also used 1 cup sugar because I like a sweet frosting. I used 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup shortening. I whipped the shortening and butter while the paste cooled in the freezer (stir every 5 minutes to prevent skin). I slowly drizzled the paste (at this point I was dubious) into the shortening butter and to my astonishment a fantastic, fluffy frosting formed! I added one tsp of vanilla and one of rum. I used it on Black Magic Cake from this site (split into 4 layers). Great!

Spicy Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2011

I made mine with shortening as per the instructions and my cookies did not flatten at all. For flat cookies, butter is a must. Anyway, I used two bananas and creamed them with the shortening and sugar. i doubled the spices as well and added an icing sugar glaze (just dipped the rounded cookes into the glaze).

Traditional White Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2011

I misread the recipe and only used 1 tsp of salt. My loaves rose quite quickly as a result. I used butter instead of lard. Very good bread.

I used radish and crab as well but I didn't use the cheese. I oiled the outside of the roll with a touch of sesame oil.

Korean-style Seaweed Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2011

Break up your seaweed BEFORE you soak it because it gets really slippery. I needed to add a bit more salt. Overall a very mild soup.

Barbie Doll Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2010

Truly a fun cake. I had to make some extra layers to achieve the correct height and in the end I still had to take Barbie's leg off. The utube tutorial was helpful too.

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2010

I used salted butter and smooth peanut butter. I added 1 tsp of vanilla and omitted the salt. I also added a package of peanut butter chips. I made 2 tbsp sized balls, dipped the tops in sugar and pressed with a fork. I baked them for 9 minutes and let them cool 2 minutes before putting them on a cooling rack. I got exactly 3 dozen cookies. They taste great. (I skipped the chiling). Thanks.

Cheese Meat-less Balls

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2010

Really good! I did a 1/2 batch with cheddar and mozza cheese. I did the onion super fine and also added a clove of minced garlic, 1 tbsp of minced fresh parsley and a dash of Worchestershire sauce. I ground the walnuts superfine too. I had a bit of difficulty browning them evenly (I didn't want to waste too much oil). I had lots of space between the balls in the pan, so I chopped up 2 carrots, 2 potatoes, 2 large mushrooms and a stalk of celery and threw those with a hand few of frozen peas over the balls. I sprinkled 1 tbsp of flour over the whole thing. Then for the gravy I used 2 cups of McCormick's All Vegetable Boullion with 2 tbsp of cornstarch whisked in (and a dash of soysauce for colour). I poured it over the top and covered. I baked it 40 minutes covered and then 10 more minutes uncovered. I let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving. Thank you for suggesting this recipe! It really inspired me tonight.

Chocolate Cookie Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2010

I didn't like this. It really only tasted like powdered sugar. Not even a step up from the stuff you buy in a can. I won't use this again.

No-Cream Pasta Primavera

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2010

I didn't have the squash, tomatoes or zucchini and I subbed frozen peas for the green beans but it was still very good. I threw in some leftover feta cheese as well. Double the sauce portion. Yum!

Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2010

These turned out beautifully. I halved the recipe and made 12 cookies. I rolled them into balls and used the end of a wooden spoon to make a deep hole. Then I expanded the hole with my thumb. I baked the cookies empty for 10 minutes then another 5 minutes after I put the jam in. Also I used a pestle to press the indent in again before I filled the cookies. It worked perfectly.

Black Magic Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009

I found the cake to be a little bitter. Perhaps my coffee was too strong. Also, 40 minutes wasn't long enough, so my cake sunk in the middle. I made this again but I forgot the bake time wasn't long enough and the darn thing sank again!! Grrrr
