I'm vegan, so I used a plant-based butter and milk substitute. The cake turned out great!

I'm allergic to apples, so I substituted them with pears. The cake turned out really well!

This cake is a bit too expensive to make. I think I'll try finding a cheaper recipe.

I think I overbaked my cake. It was a bit too brown and the edges were a little burnt.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dense and heavy.

I made this cake for a special occasion and it was a disaster. The cake was dry and the topping was too runny.

I'm not a fan of the butterscotch topping. I think it's a bit too rich and overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
