BakerGrammy rated and reviewed the recipe Easy Whiskey Cake

"I used French vanilla cake mix instead of yellow (so many of the reviewers recommended it, and I heartily agreed after tasting it); and due to our high altitude here in Albq, NM, I added 1/3 c. flour and an extra 1/4 cup Jack Daniels to the batter. Also in Step 6, to the reserved 1 1/2 cups icing, I added not only walnuts but also about 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, so it would be more like a runny frosting than just more of the liquid glaze. I got three 8x5" loaves and four 5x3" loaves out of the recipe. (Of course you can cut the recipe in half if you aren't giving as gifts.) I made them on Sunday and served on Thursday, allowing plenty of time for the glaze to soak in. I don’t normally like booze mixed in my sweets, but this cake was fabulous, I have to say. And everyone who tried it agreed. "

BakerGrammy rated and reviewed the recipe Giant Ganache-Topped Whoopie Pie

"I also made the cake as directed on the box, with my high-altitude adjustments as always. I used an 8" pan to make the layers a little thicker. After cooling I put one layer in the freezer for an hr or so to firm it up before splitting the layer. (Saved the other layer for this weekend - yum!) Had no problem with the filling at all, it looked/spread just like the pic. But next time I will only use 1/2 c. butter in the filling instead of 3/4 - just a bit too buttery/greasy for my taste. I highly recommend chilling the cake before spreading the filling. My first attempt at ganache was a huge success! The whole cake was a huge success for my granddaughter's 15th birthday. :)"

BakerGrammy rated and reviewed the recipe Easy Monster Cookies

"To Jenniemhere: "Monster" refers to the size, since you use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion out the dough. "

BakerGrammy rated and reviewed the recipe Touchdown Brownies

"Note to Terrisiriq: These brownies are not meant to be frosted - and the Wilton football cookie cutter makes quick work of cutting them out (the right tool for the job and all that). These football brownies are a Super Bowl tradition at my house - My family fights over the ends and pieces and my guests rave over the cute football shape."

"Give us a hint... How do you change the font to XL??? And why did the print size change to begin with? Please change it back, Betty Crocker!"
