My daughter and I made the Queen Cakes from Felicity's cookbook for Thanksgiving Dinner last year and they were wonderful and a big hit. They also call for rosewater. We found it at the health food store. We love the added taste of the rosewater. It adds and nice flavoring to the cakes. Maybe it was the brand we used, but it wasn't overly strong and it wasn't like eating rose petals if that makes sense [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't think you would get the same wonderful taste from vanilla. Thanks for posting the recipe Gabby!
