I loved these, but...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought this was the cutest idea and made a batch for gifts for family. I loved the taste (they were dry, but I love dry... baked goods, I always buy day old). My family was less thrilled about getting them in a can. I tried to clean the labels and glue off, but some must have still been stuck on there. My nephew cut his finger on the edge of the can and my mother-in-law started asking my husband if we were having financial problems. I thought they were so elegant decorated with scrapbooking supplies, but I guess they just looked cheap.Read more

Sandra says, "Oh, yeah. I'm going to add one egg." Then she over-beats the pancake batter even more, once she remembers to... add the egg!! Not worth trying.Read more

Great can cakes.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used them and decorated them for Christmas for our kids teachers. They loved them. The only problem I had was finding... cranberries in a can that weren't jellied so I improvised and used the jellied but just strained them till I just had the whole cranberries.Read more

I found this recipe to be very strange.
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

We could not get them out of the can gracefully. They were very dry. Not a recipe I will try again.
