  4. The peanut butter surprised me! Never combined it with amaretto. It looks so satisfying - could you Fed-Ex it to me?

    The video is grand!

  5. I never bake or make sweets because the portions are generally too large, but this perfect. Looks easy, delicious and no tempting leftovers.

  13. I love this recipe! So cool that you have the cake out of the mug. Never really like the eating out of the mug, so it is great that you have plated it. Great flavors and I like the addition of the video series! Now I have a familiarity with your voice and showing is always better than the written word. Keep up the videos as well as the awesome food!
