Now THIS is the VERY VERT BEST strawberry frosting!!! I was able to frost 22 cupcakes with some left over. Definitely going to keep this one. I didn't have to add anything to the recipe or deviate from it.

This frosting is very very good. Kind of like a thick whipped cream frosting. I'm not a big fan of frosting becuz of it being real sweet but this is not too sweet. Very good. I did beat the shortening and butter for 10 min. I think it made such a difference.

This is an awesome rice dish. Goes with anything. Nice alternative to just plain old rice. Takes a bit of time but well worth it. (Left out the mushrooms. Not a big fan)

I hate to say this but this was horrible. I used all fresh ingredients including fresh flour. I couldn't taste the anise flavor at all. Plus it was way too sweet.

Let me say...

I followed this recipe top to bottom. I always do when I try a new recipe. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE loved these. I made them Christmas eve and today is the day after AND THEY'RE ALL GONE!! I'm staying with my boyfriend and his roommates and all of them aren't big sweets eaters. Guess who's making more tomorrow?

This was absolutely AWESOME!! I made it with 20 Oz can of pineapple and 2 cups of pecans (only because I love a lot of them in recipes). Adding more pineapple didn't make the cake soupy (in case you're wondering and same baking time). This is a great recipe for people (like my cousin) who's highly allergic to walnuts. I've made this so many times I lost count. Also in making this for my boyfriend whose Indian and lives in New Zealand. He's never had it before and I'm sure he'll love it as much as I do.

This recipe is AWESOME!!! I made it first for my bf who is Indian and not used to dishes such as this. HE LOVED IT. Made it many times for others and they also loved it. I will never ever buy jar Alfredo sauce again.
