Cantaloupe jelly - 2
J's comment > not bad; very smooth and delicate - this really falls apart at the slightest touch, but oh so tasty! cantaloupe flavor evident but not overpowering; a whole new definition to 'water-jelly' |

Baumkuchen - 2
J's comment > not bad; loved the thin crust of frosting that lifted an otherwise delicate pound cake to another level; slightly moist, but could do w some whip. or better yet butter.... :D |
