I made your strawberries and cream angel food cake roll and the red velvet cheesecake cake. Both looked so impressive and got rave reviews. I actually made the angel food cake TWICE
. The rest of the recipes look great, especially that salted caramel sauce!

They all look delicious! I baked two of your recipes for Christmas – almond lace cookies for my grandma (I put melted chocolate in between and made them sandwiches) and your classic sugar cookies are probably the best I’ve ever had.
Both were great! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

I think I may have made approximately 20 jars of the salted caramel sauce, mostly to give as Christmas gifts along with the hot fudge sauce and homemade marshmallows. I was *very* popular this year!

Great idea for an end of year round up! I loved your Pumpkin Cheesecake, and so did everyone else in my family. I know it’s not from this year, but I made it this year.

You’ve been so busy this year making so many fantastic foods. I think my favourite has been salted caramel sauce. Happy New Year and thank you for all the hard work you put into your wonderful blog.

All this looks amazing! I am going to be making your baked brownie tomorrow; that’s the one that makes my mouth water most of all.
All these cakes, bread and other things that you make, can you use a hand mixer for them? I don’t have time enough to struggle with a spatula so….But I really love cooking and baking.

Hi Evelyna, Most things you can make with a hand mixer without a problem. Some of the stiffer yeast doughs are made easier with a dough hook and stand mixer, but you could always mix and knead those by hand.
