Reviews 10/17/2006 - Cindy I have made this recipe countless times and every time I get asked for the recipe. Just made it today for a United Way fundraiser lunch and it was a fabulous hit. I make the little cakes ahead of time and freeze them and keep the sauce in the refrigerator. That way I always have instant dessert when unexpected company drops by. One of my co-workers wanted to be hooked up intraveously to the sauce. 03/4/2006 - Rosamund Excellent cakes! Made them for Christmas dinner dessert. Wow'd everyone. Toffee sauce is "to die for". Great on porridge too:) 01/27/2006 - calgary These little puddings are Fantastic!!! They are not too sweet and have great flavor! Love them!!! And the left over sauce is wonderful on ice cream or just as is!
