  1. This was good but not great, however i think that was my own fault, i used demerara sugar and it wasn't firmly packed and use milk instead of cream. So my end result was as caramely (is that a word!) or as dark in colour or as creamy as i thought it would be!! lol what did i expect?! I will defiantly try this again with the correct ingredients as what i ended up with was tasty. I will post another review when i've done it again!
     
  2. This didn't work for me. It seized up when I added the powdered sugar with the butter separating. there was nothing I could do to fix it. I tried the hand blender and some other things. I'd like to know what I did wrong. I did use nonfat 1/2 and 1/2, other than that no deviations.
     
  3. Tasty, but not enough "body" to really frost the cake like I wanted to. I had to add extra cornstarch and a recipe of dulce de leche to give it oomph. the flavor is good. I had to triple the recipe to have enough for my cake.
     
  4. I used this carmel icing on Classic white cake ##16216. I had so many compliments with it. The only problem I had was I needed to make 2 batches of it to cover the cake. It was the best carmel icing I had ever tasted. Thank you for sharing it.

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
