My son got a gift of Raddish and I have to say it was a pretty neat. The recipes where simple and he was able to make it all on his own. We learned he really enjoyed practicing frosting the cupcakes. Since being a chef is still on his career path I am always pushing for him to try all areas of the chef life and see what he gravitates too.
Overall the cupcakes are really heavy almost dense pound cake. We LOVED the frosting though!
