I'm allergic to corn, so I can't eat these corn cakes. :(

I'm not a big fan of cornbread, but these corn cakes look so good that I might have to give them a try.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my corn cakes turned out flat and rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I've tried several recipes for corn cakes, but this one is by far the best. The cakes are moist and flavorful, with a crispy crust. I highly recommend this recipe.

I've made these corn cakes several times now, and they always turn out perfect. They're so moist and flavorful, and the crispy edges are to die for. I love serving them with a dollop of sour cream and salsa.
