Rolled Fondant

Reviewed on Aug. 11, 2008 by Sarah R
I have never made fondant before and really didn't know what to expect, but this recipe turned out great and everyone was completely impressed. The only problem I had was that the fondant was too sticky when I kneaded in the sugar and I ended up using about 2/3 cup extra sugar. However, I made it on a very humid day and probably should have just refrigerated it for an hour or two instead, since it ended up just a tiny bit too stiff. Also, I used 8 drops of blue food coloring and ended up with a very pastel shade, so you might want to use quite a bit more if you want a dark or bold color. I had a lot of fun making this recipe.

Our Favorite Chocolate Cake

Reviewed on Aug. 2, 2008 by Sarah R
I hate to be the first with a negative review, but I found this cake to be fairly dry and crumbly. I am a good baker and am not sure why it didn't turn out well. I DID make two changes: I used butter instead of shortening (which I always do and have not experienced a problem before), and I added an extra ounce of baking chocolate. The flavor was pretty good, but the cake crumbled too easily. I made a 12" round cake and it was done in exactly 24 minutes. I didn't make the icing but used a rolled fondant icing instead. There is a chance that I made a mistake and it's not the recipe's fault, but I don't think that's the case. I'll keep looking.

Quick Greek Pasta Salad with Steak

Reviewed on Jun. 21, 2008 by Cooker
My husband and I loved this salad. I didn't use the olive oil, but other than that, I made the salad as written. This is something I would serve to dinner guest along with a Greek salad.
