"Perfect! I adjusted by subbing in 3/4 cup butter flavor Crisco for the shortening & butter, used less cloves. Didn't have allspice so put in a dab of pumpkin pie spice and a dab of nutmeg. I really dislike molasses, but used it anyway and was very happy with the cookies. Like a chewy gingerbread. Will be a Christmas tradition in my house from now "

"My son's girlfriend wanted strawberry cake for her birthday. I found this recipe and was afraid to try it after reading the comments. I followed the recipe exactly as printed, but did heed the reviews and added 3 Tbsp of flour into the cake mix. I bought the store brand plain old white cake mix....not EXTRA MOIST. Could only find 16 oz. container ""

"Haven't tried it but plan to. This is very similar to a casserole someone brought to us after the birth of my second son. Can't wait to taste it again!!"

"I made this over the weekend and it has a great flavor. Usually Alfredo is so rich, I can only eat a few bites. This was much lighter. The recipe states 4 servings, but could easily make 6-8 servings. This would bring the calorie-count down a bit and a small serving was very filling. I baked a chicken breast and chopped it and added it to the sauce before combining it with the pasta."

"The only change I made to this recipe was to use 1/2 salted and 1/2 unsalted butter. Otherwise, I followed the instructions exactly, using my hand mixer as I don't have a stand mixer. It was all that I have been looking for in a frosting.

I made a double batch as I was afraid I wouldn't have enough to frost a two layer cake. I wanted to do a crumb coat first, so wanted to be sure the top layer wouldn't be skimpy. I did have leftovers, but better safe than sorry. I don't think the original recipe would have been quite enough. I was also worried about the frosting running down the cake as it sat. I left it in a covered cake plate overnight on the counter and it didn't run one bit. It was the perfect consistency.

Yes, it's very sweet,but it is a cake frosting after all.

Loved it and so did my family! Don't think I ever want to go back to buying canned frosting now."
