what does this taste like??? I have been wanting to try something like this but didn't know you could do your own starters!!! Too cool!! I am wanting to start cooking~I'm just not much in to it~really long story! Thanks for sharing this one!! mgf~ 8)
I made the cakes several years ago for christmas gifts and luck would have it there wasn't enough for a cake for us. But the son of one of Randy's single friends we gave a cake too, sent me a message stating....'name your price' meaning he would pay/give me anything I wanted if I could make him another cake. :-D I don't know what it tasted like but it must have been good. I just haven't thought to make the starter again, but I guess I will have to.
