I'm gonna try and make the homemade yellow cake today for mine and hubbys anniversary.Thanks for sharing your recipes :).

I made this cinnamon swirl bread a few days ago, with the intent on using it for french toast. The bread turned out great, except for one thing. When I sliced it, the slices separated at the cinnamon swirl. It was almost like the slice unrolled - does that make sense? Because it did that, I was unable to use as french toast and my children just at the bread by itself with some fruit. I am definitely going to make it again, but how do I keep it from separating or unrolling at the cinnamon swirl? Thanks and many blessings~ Greetings – I pray this message finds you well.

We have a local bakery that makes something similar for close to $7 per loaf! My kids love it but due to the cost, it is an extremely rare treat. I am absolutely thrilled that I will now be able to make it at home for a fraction of the cost. I can't wait to try it! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Suzanne!!!

Myself and my kitchen was splattered with dough and flour..LOL, my son somehow had cinnamon/sugar mixture all over his pants. When their loaves were done, we poured the tasty glaze on top and we all tasted it and it is the best bread ever!!!! :french: My son's friend was so excited to take his loaf home. Thank you for this fantastic recipe and it was such a fun and learning experience for the boys.

That is a mistake--in the written part, not in the recipe amount. It should be 3 1/2 cups. However, any time you're making bread, use the amount you need (the amount you can work into the dough properly). What did your bread do? If it didn't rise, there may be another reason it failed because your dough would only take what it could take. (I'll go fix that in the instructions, thanks!) Leslie, thanks for telling me that!

I guessed and apparently guessed wrong because I baked a complete failbread. In the recipe ingredients, "3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour" is listed. Then in the description you say, "The 4-5 cups flour is approximate" So what is the maximum amount of flour that should be in the loaf? I had no idea if i should put a maximum of 3 1/2 cups or a maximum of 5! I attempted this yesterday but was very confused by your recipe.

The pictures are wonderful! And I just took a quick break to whip up your gingerbread recipe, which is now in the oven...even though it's almost 10:30 pm!
