I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but this cake was surprisingly good. I would definitely make it again.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and tasteless, and the frosting was too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I expected. It was a little dry and the frosting was too runny.

The cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to the cake next time, maybe by using a different type of oil or adding some sour cream.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
