I've baked two cakes, but hesitate to make the frosting after reading all the reviews.  I think that I'll stick to cream cheese frosting with a touch of vanilla...but certainly not the $15.50 vanilla bean (for two) that I checked out at the grocery store.  I'm surprised that no one mentioned the fact that it is so costly.  I'm looking forward to having a slice for Christmas dessert.
