Reviews
Flavor and texture are average. There is so much butter in the icing, it just tastes like sweet butter. It is a lot of work to make, shape, and frost these. I will not make these again.
I made these and overall very good. Really sweet. I'm wondering if regular OJ would work instead of the concentrated stuff. Or, maybe cut back on the sugar. The cranberry and orange flavor really pop though.
