This was a very easy recipe to follow. I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to make this with no problems.

This was a bit too sweet for me, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This was a really good recipe. The only thing I would change is to add more pineapple. Other than that, it was perfect.
