I do appreciate everyone else's work though and will certainly give the top couple of recipes a try. I'll be back to baking in August, so I'll join back in for that run.

I haven't been getting notifications on this thread so I had to catch up on a couple of pages of posts. I'm not sure why that keeps happening to some people. Maybe it's been the recent work to the site? Anyhow, if no one has volunteered to tally up the results, I'd be willing even though I'm not super versed in spreadsheets. I hear there's one already to go? Let me know... ceshell Forum SuperStar!

I'll keep an eye out if you don't do it before then CountryCakery! If I can find the spreadsheet on my hard drive I'll pm it to ya Lita829 Forum Addict Joined: Mar 17, 2009 Posts: 549 Location: Pennsylvania Birthday: Aug 29 Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2009 7:03 pm  Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to request for a tabulator. I've been MIA. I couldn't locate the final spreadsheet on my computer but I have since found it. If no one else wants to tabulate the results, I can do it but it will have to wait until Friday, August 7th. I see that CountryCakery and Ceshell also volunteered. Just let me know...... Also...what is next month's Scratch-Off going be? I may sit this one out but I'd like to follow the tread...depending on what flavor will be tested. This has been an awesome Scratch-Off experience over the past two months. I've had fun testing and reading all the critiques of the various recipes. Thanks to CakeandDazzle for initiating the Scratch-Off. It was great idea . giraffe11 Frequent Member Joined: Sep 09, 2007 Posts: 363 Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2009 8:32 pm  I don't remember what the next flavor was to be, but I am ready to bake!!! Mcats are tomorrow morning at 8:00 and I'll be so happy when they are over. To bed now. Baking frenzy to commence tomorrow after kids are in bed.

I've never done this before so I may ask the odd question as I'm not ordinarily a numbers person! Hopefully it's not too hard to figure out! I've got some free time tomorrow to have a look at it so if you're able to pass it on then great! Unless you find it and then are suddenly inspired to do all the work yourself. Let me know whatever you decide! giraffe11 Frequent Member Joined: Sep 09, 2007 Posts: 363 Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2009 5:04 am  Are we taking August off? I can't find any new scracth-off posts for a new flavor........... bobwonderbuns Forum SuperStar! Joined: Nov 17, 2006 Posts: 5555 Location: one block from the edge of the earth...

Some suggestions for future cakeoff's~~~~ Carrot Cake, White Cake, and Lemon Cake I really need a new Carrot Cake recipe....hint, hint.... ceshell Forum SuperStar! Joined: Feb 05, 2006 Posts: 2739 Location: Sunny Southern California Birthday: May 01 Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2009 9:28 pm  I like the idea of taking Aug. off but I would like to add in a 2nd vote for Carrot for whenever the next one is. As much as I hate to admit it, that Costco carrot cake IS pretty amazing. SO moist and delicious. Would be fab to find a fantastic scratch cake so I could say "TAKE THAT!!" to Costco LOL. Lita829 Forum Addict Joined: Mar 17, 2009 Posts: 549 Location: Pennsylvania Birthday: Aug 29 Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 7:21 am  I 3rd the vote for Carrot Cake for the next Scratch-Off. There is a really tasty sounding recipe in Mich Turner's Spectacular Cakes book that I really want to try. CountryCakery4 Regular Member Joined: May 11, 2009 Posts: 138 Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 8:08 am  Hi guys, sorry for not posting the results yet, I got caught up in a few things at home. I've got a pretty busy day today and then I'll tackle it either tonight or tomorrow morning. Unless someone gets antsy and does it first! Carrot cake sounds great to me. I've got a pretty good one that I'd submit. Also looking forward to trying some new flavours too!! Gotta run or I'll never get it all done today. I'll post as soon as I can. giraffe11 Frequent Member Joined: Sep 09, 2007 Posts: 363 Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2009 4:59 pm  This topic never sends me replies, even though it tells me I am "watching". I guess AUgust is for rest, since it' nearly half over! I am open to any flavors. I am loving finding new "best" recipes.......and I love to bake in the fall.

Like I said I liked the flavor just the texture was not my favorite. I was just giving my opinion like everyone else has done. In my house, cakes last 3 to 5 days, even if the cake is really good because there is only 2 of us. We don't like to share lol I feel bad. I didn't mean to offend you or your recipe. I just pointed out the difference I saw in the box I bought from the one posted. After reading vicki3336 comments, maybe I did something wrong or overmix the batter since she said her cake texture for the Softasilk was too light and mine was dense. We both rated it 8.5. Oh...I'm cool...I didn't take offense . I am just trying to recall if I added an extra egg or not. I always manage to change recipes in some way, shape, or form once I get used to them . I am not sure if CountryCakery was still going to tally the results but if she is unable to do them I'll have time to do it tomorrow. I am in the process of printing out all the critiques now.

We've had a busier week than I planned but if you finish first then that's ok by me. Are you using the spreadsheet and entering all the recipes or just tallying the critiques? I suppose the latter would be way faster!! I've been entering recipes this afternoon and it's a bit time consuming. Anyhoo, I'll just keep working at it and try to get it done tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!!
