I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cakes didn't rise properly. They were still tasty, but they were a little flat.

These cakes were a bit of a disappointment. The anise flavor was too strong for my taste, and the texture was a little dry.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I thought these cakes were still pretty good. The texture was great, and the sweetness was just right.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cakes didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. They were still tasty, but they were a little dense.
