Good, but nothing close to cake.

Where do I start? From what started out looking like the western killer game above all games, I without a doubt pre-ordered this for the free roam alone. After watching countless videos and reading info, I was super stoked to roam the open plains and tear up the west with my fellow friends. Only to find out how very limited and boring the world is, there is absolutely nothing to do in free roam.

These are some points on which killed the "free roam" experience:

There are only 6 or 7 bandit hideouts that take 2-5 minutes each, that can be done with little to no effort with a few friends or even be yourself.

There are plenty of boring meaningless challenges, that give you little to no XP, which become useless to ride for so long on your horse to get to the location.

There are no NPCs,stores,mini games, bar offerings, or quests what so ever.

There is no option to filter to a "expert aiming" (no auto aim) free roam mode. Who ever sees you first will lock on to you and kill you, no to mention the horrid re-spawning system will spawn you right next to your enemies.

The map is too BIG for its own good,it is so widely spaced with non interesting locations.

The world has NO interact-able objects other than horse riding, shooting people, hunting animals, and collecting bounty. Thats ALL you do.

Bugs.. constantly players going invisable, glitched bad guys sitting inside rocks, falling through the ground... and no swimming. In which western movie was there not at least some swimming involved?

Ok i will admit that riding with a bunch of of friends and taking on posses is a bunch of fun, as well as holding back a group of lawmen while working on a bounty. But there just isn't enough going on here to stay interesting..

Nice try R*. Next time.

I loved To have his cake and eat it too, but this book left me wanting more. I felt like it was too short, and it lacked details of some of the events.

While the content is generally helpful and the finished product is a beautiful cake, the recipes for the cakes were not very good. They smelled good, but basically that was it. The layers tasted almost cornmeally and were very, very dry. Even after brushing on the syrup flavoring, they still had a cornbread texture in the mouth. If you're looking for ideas for a wedding cake, this is a good read. If you're looking for recipes, please pass.

My dog really liked it but the box is about half the size of a human box cake mix. And like the other reviewer said there is not enough frosting at all. They need to give more for the price. Won't buy again. Recipes online are just as easy.

Good, but nothing extraordinary.

Hard chocolate shell, and soft chocolate inside. It would maybe be better if it included more nuts, if it was more fudge-y, and if it had some wafer-y layers, etc.

Tastes like cake batter, but has a gritty texture. Not overly sweet, I think it tastes good, but my kids won't eat it

Ok, so I love the PW blog. Really enjoy it- really. The humor and photos she shares there are fabulous. But this cookbook had too few recipes for the ticket price and too many pictures. Also, I guess I would expect something more interesting than cutting a hole in bread and putting an egg in it for toast/egg combo.  I was hoping for hearty breakfast casseroles, or yummy roasts, or even decadent desserts. Sure, there are a few of these, like maple pecan scones, but honestly the recipes on her blog are more varied and seem more interesting than the cookbook's biscuits or a truly simplistic breakfast burrito recipe.  If you aren't a cook, this might be just the trick to get you cooking. If you are already an experienced cook, you'll be left wanting more and are best to just peruse her blog and print away!

The pan was larger than I had expected.  The cake are not very attractive if you completely fill the pan with batter.

I purchased this gluten free cake mix with the hope that it would be just as good as the cakes I have been missing since going gluten free about 18 months ago.  Well, yes and no was the response I got from my family and my own impression after I baked it this weekend.  The cake does have a lemon flavor, but it seemed a bit dry for all of our tastes.  Maybe this was because I made cupcakes rather than a cake.  The mix only makes one 8" cake, not two cakes like most traditional mixes.  I was able to salvage the dryness by making a lemon buttercream frosting as suggested on the packaging.  I wish the package came with a recipe.  I had to look it up on my own.  In the future I will probably make a cake from scratch and continue to add the lemon buttercream frosting for some extra lemony-great taste.

A nice book with beautiful pictures(though many of the big cakes probably made on styrofoam dummies for the perfect look, which is a little different from reality).
The big thing missing is information on gumpaste. There are many kinds of, and each one has it's own advantages(modeling paste, flower paste, mexican paste). No recipe has been given(while some are very easy to make).
On the other hand, there is a recipe for rolled fondant in the book. That is far more difficult to make(you need a heavy duty mixer and complete control of temperature) and if something goes wrong, you end up with a large quantity of a messy product.

I was under the impression that this was an edible cake sheet with the cake toppers.  it only comes with the toppers "High Roller" plate, and dice.  A little disappointing.

I wouldn't call this a cake kit.  It is a toy.  The whole "kit" is the Om Nom figure.  There is absolutely nothing else to it.  I have to admit, I wasn't sure what would be in the kit when I ordered it.  I took a gamble because no one else seems to have anything Cut The Rope for party supplies.  It is very cute, but far from worth the cost.

Okay, not as good as Pamela's other products. Her cake mix is amazing.

Yeah, the recipes are good, but a bit of imagination on the baker's part could come up with any of those presented here.

Here's another version that has come to mind:  Mandarin oranges with a white or orange cake mix. Maybe with vanilla pudding? It could be like a Creamsicle?

I have brought this pound cake to several family gatherings and it always gets rave reviews.  The cake is moist and rich.  A small serving goes a long way. I skip the glaze and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

However, the brownie recipe is terrible.  Don't waste the mix on the brownies; you will most certainly be disappointed.

Most of these recipes start with a box of cake mix.  There is not one basic yellow cake in here.  One recipe says add sparkle by dusting confectioner's sugar.  Sparkle?!  The "hacks" are well-worn advice, such as use a pastry brush to get grease into all the crannies of a pan.  There is a reasonable variety, but  bit odd, such as cakes with fruit, ice cream cake, and the flavor combination chapter has things like Red Velvet cake.  This is just not a good basic book of easy cake recipes, unless you want to start with a mix. I rarely return anything to Amazon, but this is going back.

To be clear, I did not get this cake from Amazon. My sister received the cake as a gift. The cake looks beautiful! It makes you feel like to get a big piece on your plate. However, once I tasted a tiny bite, I had to spit it out. The sweetness is unnatural, kind of chemical. I was NOT the only one who felt this way about this cake. The other six people tasted the cake also felt it was not edible. Perhaps we just don't like the ingredients in the cake besides it is way too sweet. But it might be an awesome dessert for some people.
