I made these exactly as is, and everyone was astounded with how good this are.

Coffeebar Chai

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2010

Yum! I thought it was a little sweet at first but it may have simply been the intense flavors.

Red Velvet Cake I

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2010

I thought it was a bit on the dry side. I used oil instead of shortening, 2 cups of sugar, no vinegar, and only 1 oz of red food coloring (and it was still very very red).

I'll definitely use this one again, and I'll likely give it 5 stars next time. The problem: the weather is too hot! I used all butter, and let it sit out to soften while I was at work. By the time I returned home, it was partially melted. I had to add extra sugar to get a decent consistency. I thought it was a tad on the sweet side but my siblings loved it (and considering it was a birthday cake for one of them, I think their opinion counts more anyway!).

Scones

Reviewed: May 28, 2010

A little too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the sugar by half and see how that goes. I had to bake mine a bit longer than 15 minutes.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2010

Pretty gooood. Not as flavorful as the Tollhouse recipe, which uses less flour and sugar for the same amount of butter. They bake up beautifully, and didn't flatten out.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2010

I doubled the cheese and added the same seasoning o the batter as I did the butter. Tasty biscuits but still not phenomenally cheesy.

Whipped Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2008

So good! I doubled the vanilla because we buy imitation. Next time hopefully we'll get the real stuff; if not, I'll use clear because this batch came out a little golden. I might leave out the sugar next time too! Nothing beats homemade whipped cream. Nothing.

Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2008

I followed PLAYKITTENPIE's alterations (use brown sugar, up the cocoa to 3 heaping tbsp, decrease cornstarch to a little over 2 tbsp). I think next time I'll use a little less cocoa - it was a tad strong for me. I doubled the vanilla because we buy imitation, and I also added in the last few drops of (imitation) coconut extract and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Divvied it up into 5 parfait glass and they look beautiful! Once they cool, I'll top them with homemade whipped cream - "Whipped Cream," submitted by MOOZOGASSIR.

Walnut Raisin Scones

Reviewed: May 31, 2008

I didn't add nut, substituted dried cranberries with the raisins and Smart Balance with the butter, and added a teaspoon of (imitation) almond extract, and rolled the dough into a circle and sliced it into 8 triangles.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2008

Like others, I used oil instead of butter. I accidentally mixed into the batter the 1/3 cup of brown sugar for the topping. So I tossed in another banana and a 1/2 cup of natural applesauce, and used a total of 1 15/16 cups of flour. I also used about 3/4 teaspoon vanilla. For the topping used a little less than 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp butter. I got exactly 24 muffins. Yes, I did screw with this recipe quite a bit but it still turned out delicious so I will definitely make again!

Caramel Shortbread Squares

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2008

Looks great! I let the shortbread cool for about 2-2.5 hours before making the caramel.

Mom's Island Treasures

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2008

A little too sweet so next time I'll use semisweet chocolate chips. They look lovely, however! I upped the baking time to 12 minute because I make my cookies on the larger side.

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

I ran out of Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting for my cake so I whipped this up. Very good. Spread beautifully. I think it will become my quintessential chocolate frosting.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

Love the cream cheese tang and it spreads beautifully. My only problem is that I ran out for my 3-layer 8-inch-round cake. Will use again and again and again.

David's Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

My fault - after all, I did substitute brown sugar for white and I may have undercooked it - but too moist for me (can't believe I just said that). I guess I prefer Scottley's Basic Yellow Cake. But I'm glad that I tried this after all. I may try again following the recipe exactly, but 8 eggs feels so extravagant.

Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2007

Tastes great, looks great! Just careful not to beat it too long or it will incorporate air bubbles and won't frost smoothly. A very nice alternative to vanilla or white frosting. I used imitation vanilla, not clear, and the color seems fine.

Simple White Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2007

It's baking right now, so I can't really review yet, but the batter tastes excellent! I doubled the recipe then divided it into six bowls (1 cup batter each) then dyed each a different color. I'm baking them as 3 8" rounds, with 2 colors per round stacked vertically. Then I'll frost it with white frosting. It will be a rainbow cake!

Banana Pancakes I

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2007

After hearing the Jack Johnson song, how could I not try this recipe? And I'm so glad I did. Definitely my favorite breakfast. I like mine a little mushy in the middle, and I don't smush the bananas in all the way so there are chunks. I would use riper bananas in the future and don't expect something like banana bread! If that's the taste you desire, maybe add a little cinnamon.
