I was disappointed with these cakes. They were dry and crumbly, and the glaze was too thin. I won't be making these again.

These cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar in the glaze next time.

These cakes were easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a bundt pan instead of a loaf pan and they came out perfect. I'll be making these again for sure.

These tea cakes were a bit more dense than I expected, but still very tasty. I think I would have preferred them with a little less sugar in the glaze, but that's just a personal preference.
