Cake out great. Really nice side dish although a bit sweet. Paired with pork made a great meal

I liked the sweetness of this squash; never having it before this was a great way to prepare it. I only had dried sage but it still gave the syrup/sauce a nice flavor. Made for Rookie Review Tag contest win.
