  • My favorite thing about your Morrow clan is that you keep your faith incorporated in your videos and you prove you aren’t just putting on a front with it because of your bible knowledge. You also show everyone that you don’t always have to be perfect but are always LOVED by GOD.

    FYI, melted is not the same as softened. Using melted butter instead of softened butter in icing make it runny and oily.  Also melted butter in cakes won't raise and be fluffy.

    Hi Dan and Lou. I always love your cooking shows. I love it when I can see the whole family together and how you all interact with each other, it's always comical and fun. If I may ask Dan, the next time would you show close ups of the food after it's prepared? I would of loved to see this cake on the inside and out and that's with all foods you make, is to see it after its prepared, I would appreciate that. Again another great video and I love you guys ❤❤

    This was a great video. The cakes looked good. I especially liked the question and peoples answers. Very good. Thank you for sharing and bringing God into your homes.

    Good Sunny Morning from Pennsylvania. Cute video, I loved how Kash bowed his head when you were praying. I always rotate all my food in the oven.
  • Both cakes look good. I use a jelly roll pan approximately 17x12" 1inch height. When done baking, turn off stove, add mini marshmallows and put back in oven to let the marshmallows puff up little, put icing on top, take spatula and spread marshmallow and icing, makes like marble effect. I don't add any nuts. I would like to talk to Ruth or Esther about their faith and perseverance. Enjoyed the video 😊
