Where do the strawberries come in?

8/16/2010 05:31:55 PM Report Abusere: The alcohol in glaze. Do you use vanilla extract? If so, aren't you concerned about the alcohol???
8/16/2010 03:03:17 PM Report AbuseThis cake is delicious and so is the glaze. if it weren't for my dairy allergy I would'nt have changed a thing, made it with dairy free subs & it still rocked! BTW, take the minimal amount of Grand Marnier divide it over the entire cake = each slice getting trace amounts! As for the photo being disturbing ~ seriously? I see a woman wearing a beautiful sundress & two adorable little girls waiting in anticipation for their slice of cake. Sheesh, people get over yourselves!
8/16/2010 11:17:56 AM Report AbuseThis cake is delicious and the glaze was a hit with kids and grown-ups alike. I have my BSN in Nursing and can tell you right now the few drops of Grand M. that the kids actually get on their serving doesn't affect them at all, psychologically or physiologically. I would also like to add that no one actually reviews the recipies! Geez. It's really annoying to see 5 reviews and not one gives me insight to how the recipe will turn out. Did I mention the cake is to die?
