"I made these for an after school/work snack for my partner and stepdaughter. I didn't have a food processor, so I did it the old fashioned way and giggled like a child as I mushed through the dough. The end result was perfection, and I had a lovely nostalgic trip that has put me in a good mood all day!"

"This looks lovely, but the whole concept of suet is really off-putting to me. I live in Norway (land of completely strange food) and I still can't imagine baking with cow lard. Is there anything else I can use in replacement of it? It's not common to use it in baking here, thus really unlikely I will find a replacement anywhere. Any advice would be super!"

"I made this cake last night using small, tart apples from a tree in the garden. I found that the cake batter was a bit thick and fussy to work with but the end result was incredible! I added cinnamon and lots of sugar to combat the tartness and the end result was just heavenly. And it's even better the day after! I will definitely use this recipe again!"

"I love my own recipe."

"Rich velvety chocolatey goodness! This recipe did not get a 5 out of 5 because it was so unclear as to whether or not the water goes IN the chocolate and butter mix (it does) or not, seriously we had a debate about it (or maybe you need to live in an English-speaking country to get it). And after that, the batter was a messy messy gooey nearly a workout to beat, even with an electric mixer kind of goop. I've made the buttercream for this cake many many times (great recipe and I'm a buttercream junkie). I love it though and I will totally make it again. "
