Title: Awesome recipes but beware the red velvet icing!
Product review: I've owned this book for at least 6 years now and everything I have made from this cookbook gets rave reviews--especially those darn cupcakes! Hardy anyone bakes from scratch these days so making something out of this book will really set you apart. People who say they can't tell the difference between storebought mixes and icings and homemade are either lying or lacking taste buds.The only item that I made that has been disappointing so far was the red velvet cake icing. WAY too much butter in there, it tasted like butter and was inedible. I have since supplanted it with a recipe I found that calls for using 12oz white chocolate chips in the icing, cream cheese, 2 sticks of butter, and confectioner's sugar to thicken a bit, and it has made all the difference.Happy baking!
