Great app

Fantastic app, very clean work. Very easy to follow formula’s. Pot standing pics.

Amazing pictures, UX needs a small change

Feedback to the devs the bookmark feature is confusing - it seems like the heart icon on top right of a recipe is the way to bookmark because the icon on the bookmark menu is a heart. But the heart doesn’t seem to do anything but update the like count on a recipe. You have to use the bookmark icon itself lower in the recipe page, which I find confusing.

I also wish the molds were more precise - diameter is typically given but not depth.

But love the pictures and recipes generally!

Hi Brk, Thank you so much! Those are good suggestions, we'll look into fixing them. The depth of most silicone moulds used for cakes is 5 cm - I'll see if I can't fit that information in there too. Regards, Jakob

Love this App

I don’t agree with reviewer regarding the quality of pictures. I have this app on my phone and it is absolutely perfect.
The instructions and ingredient lists are great. I can’t wait to try out one of her amazing recipes.

Response from developer

Thank you so much!

Great recipes

Love the app in English and recipes are great. Small point I have noticed that the blackcurrant triangle recipe has not got the quantity of gelatine listed in the recipe, can you help?
Thanks

Response from developer

Hi Mike, thank you for the review! The cremeux in the blackcurrant triangle does not actually need gelatine. Must have been a late night translation. Sorry, and thank you for pointing that out! It has been fixed now. Regards, Jakob

Amazing app, beautiful recipes!

These recipes are stunning and very inspiring. The app is clean and nice to use, very good layout. Would definitely recommend if you love a challenge!

One criticism is sometimes there is a lack of detail in the instructions, especially on many of the more technical parts

Response from developer

Hi JD, Thank you so much for your review. We will look into providing more detailed instructions to the technical parts.

Needs work

I love her work! I’m honestly shocked that the price is only $5.99 to get her recipes. Much cheaper than having to buy a cookbook.
Some negatives are that some pictures are not in focus and remain blurry. Another down side is that not all of her recipes are on it. I mainly bought the app for a raspberry cheesecake she made a while back, which I could not find in the app.
I’m sure the longer she has the app available she will work out all the kinks.

Hi Caitjane, Thank you for your review! The pictures should all come in focus - if your connection is a little slow, it might take some minutes, but if the problem persists, please contact us. Regard, Jakob

Where is the recipe??

I Down loaded this app to learn to make this beautiful glaze since it said it gave recipes. But can’t find recipe for any of the cakes in the photo. Very disappointing

Response from developer

Hi dmead66, Thank you for your review! When Maja writes in Instagram that a recipe is in the app, it is always there. If you can't find it, try searching for it in the app, and don't hesitate to ask her on Instagram if it's too well hidden. Best regards, Jakob

The best

I’ve never written a review but had to to defend this app. If the recipes were dumbed down for amateur home cooks they wouldn’t work. The recipes here are great, easy to follow and beautifully set up. 10/10 would buy again. Disappointed it to me so long

Response from developer

Thank you very much!

Beautiful recipes but a bit vague

Love the recipes but some details are a little vague such as which gelatine strength is used (gold, titanium etc). I tried looking for a way to ask the question but support goes straight to a website in Danish. Videos to explicate the decorating process would be very useful. There are no pictures of the assembly process either which makes it a little harder. Definitely not for home cooks as there is a lot of assumed knowledge with regard to tempering chocolate and using entremet moulds. Perhaps a forum where those who use the app could post and share advice would bring it up to being a much more educational tool for those of us who are still on a steep learning curve. But overall I love the very affordable access to some excellent flavour combinations and interesting decorating techniques, so still giving it 5 stars.

Response from developer

Hi Marshmallow, Thank you for the review! We've added tips for several of the recipes which describe the gelatine strength based on your recommendation, hope it's useful! And a forum is a good idea. We will look into that. Best regards, Jakob

Very disappointing

The app is not in English, and there is no way to translate. The pictures never come fully into focus. Very disappointed.

Response from developer

Hi Bob Wonderbuns, Thank you for your review! There is a button in the menu that switches between Danish and English, did you try that? And the pictures load small sizes first, with the larger sizes only being loaded if there is a good connection and enough space on the phone. If they do not appear after at most a minute, please write me an email and I'll look into it. Regards, Jakob
