Nice way to make a cake extra special
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very, VERY easy to make and it really adds a certain something special to what could otherwise be a run of the mill cake.

Not meant for top pastry chefs to make!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Why do people have to write mean reviews? I do not believe that ANY recipe or idea given on FOOD NETWORK is meant to emulate... anything a top chef or pastry chef would make. SO, this recipe calls for corn syrup! It works for the home chef and that's what this network is all about! Like my mama taught me, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Some people need to get the hint! Great recipe!Read more
