And their roses in vases." I am the Dorista that usually writes about baking disasters but, for some reason my loaf cake turned out perfectly (well, as perfect as I can ever bake a cake). I liked this - the rose flavoring was not particularly strong - and I will probably make it again (just to see if I can make it two times in a row!!!). I did enjoy that last picture, however, painful as it might have been. You're a trooper./ <br />Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6613554341003876206.post-27013829450804167232013-03-23T19:21:39.069-07:002013-03-23T19:21:39.069-07:00I like the idea of a summer cocktail.I like the idea of a summer cocktail.Rosemary & Garlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044234879167445165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6613554341003876206.post-51255355469762235182013-03-23T19:21:20.170-07:002013-03-23T19:21:20.170-07:00Probably I have been doing it longer :)Probably I have been doing it longer :)Rosemary & Garlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044234879167445165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6613554341003876206.post-66421309215211904792013-03-23T14:24:36.675-07:002013-03-23T14:24:36.675-07:00I'm glad you were able to salvage the cake.

So surprised you didn't find rose syrup in the Middle Eastern stores, unless you were looking for Monin. They don't carry the fancy stuff. My bottle doesn't look as pretty but it is a very fragrant delicious syrup. Weird how so many of us were tricked into believing it was cooked.

I really thought it was just me. I checked my oven thermometer a bunch of times to see that the temp was correct... it was! Mine was in there for a full 30 minutes longer than called for and it still wasn't done through. And unlike Mardi, I'm not 100% convinced that I'm going to try it again.
