5 Stars: Dee-lish! I used homemade crepes & fresh cherries for this recipe. I was tempted to add extra sugar as I didn't think it was going to be sweet enough. But we went ahead & made the cream as posted. I was delighted to find that the combination of the cream & the cherry sauce was plenty sweet. I used to have a favorite restaurant because of their berry crepes & now I am thrilled to find a recipe that is even better. Not to mention that I can make them at home rather than eating out. Thanks for your entry & good luck! Made, enjoyed & reviewed for RSC #12.

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
