Current Recipe Review

I have posted updates on some of the recipes that I have made but I am afraid they aren't being read. I'll re-post them here and review any recipes that I have not yet reviewed.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake

UPDATE: 5/29/12
So after serving this beautiful cake at the Memorial Day Party, everyone loved it! It wasn't too lemony or

sweet or anything. It was just perfect. I did have to bake it longer than the recipe calls for. Just cook it until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. My dad loved it so much he wants me to make it again. He and my grandma fought over who was keeping the left overs! If you try it, let me know what you think!

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

UPDATE: 5/29/12
This was a good crisp. It wasn't my favorite though. It was to orange tasting. If you make this I would recommend not using the orange juice. I have a better recipe that I'm going to try from a family member. However, I don't think this was awful. If you like a bit of orange, it's amazing. I ate most of it because I love fruit crisp in general. If you are looking to have just that strawberry rhubarb flavor, you won't be completely satisfied.

Cocktail Meatballs Recipe #1

My sister makes these all the time. She has two other recipes that are even better. As soon as I get them I will definitely post them! As for this one, it's quick, easy and quite satisfying!

Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake

This recipe, I kind of used a different recipe and tweaked it to my liking. It turned out almost perfect. The only thing I would change about it is adding something with more cherry flavor to enhance it if you prefer a stronger cherry flavor. I'm going to try it again with a cherry liquor in the mix. I am also going to try it with a cherry flavored ganache. Keep looking for an update.

Cheesecake Factory's Carrot Cake Cheesecake

Perfect for the Cheesecake and Carrot Cake lover! My mother-in-law absolutely loved it! She is always saying that my cooking makes her fat and she sends most of what I make home with me. This time, she basically ate at least half of it herself. It was for her birthday after all. She prefers it with her coffee. I might try thickening the cheesecake next time so it will drop through the carrot cake better. Nothing but amazingness in this recipe tho!
