Yum, yum, yummy! Made this to drizzle over Grandma Paula's Sour Cream Pound cake and it's perfect! Thanks for the great recipe! -
I made this in a big hurry to finish my last Mother's Day dessert. I didn't read it well and used room temp butter. It was an "oh crap" moment. I tried microwaving it in small increments and it worked. No waiting for it to thicken. I just microwaved it until desired consistency and poured. I doubled recipe because I like a thicker layer of icing. Worked great! Thank you for sharing this quick, lovely recipe. -

I used this vanilla glaze to frost a Dark Chocolate Bundt cake. It was quick and easy to make. Unfortunately the glaze broke on me. Not sure what I did wrong, but I did something. It didn't look pretty but still tasted great. Thanks for sharing V... Made for What's on the Menu? Tag Game 2017. -

I used this to top cupcakes for my son's birthday. The only change I made was using milk instead of water. Perfect! -
Use room temp butter, mix, then microwave in small increments until you get desired texture and apply to cake. No waiting to thicken! Great when your in a hurry.

This is a very good glaze recipe.<br/>It is very buttery and goes well with the amount of sugar, it blends well. Has great flavor.<br/>It has a smooth texture and the amount of time to wait for it to thicken is perfect for drizzling.<br/><br/>I made a cherry vanilla cake and replaced the 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla with 3/4 tsp of grenadine and 3/4 tsp of vanilla. Went perfect with my cake.

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...
