Only the glaze has any flavor and I didn't really care for it when I tasted it before I put it on the bread. I kept reading and rereading the ingredients and instructions before and after making it and I know I followed them to a "T". I am really disappointed as I was so looking forward to a piece with a cup of tea.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"10\/17\/2014 16:23","GUID":"9fa91029ea624849912e663e310d4f21","MemberId":1571769,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"mams987","SubmittedDate":"10\/17\/2014 16:23"},{"Comment":"

I didn't have thyme so I used rosemary. The cake was moist and delicious and easy to make.<\/p>

Everyone enjoyed this new favorite.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"06\/16\/2014 07:50","GUID":"8c82a83389e74a509546a9dde514dbd1","MemberId":7472199,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Ellen","SubmittedDate":"06\/16\/2014 07:49"},{"Comment":"

The flavor of this "bread" is so wonderful & bright! Absolutely delicious & not too sweet, although it's definitely a dessert type bread. The glaze is tangy & adds just the right amount of sweet. It is moist but seems a little crumbly, so it may need a little oil or applesauce(?). I followed the recipe exactly with the exception being that I made four mini loafs (approx 3X5) instead of one large. They baked perfect & everyone who tasted it loved it! Great recipe & great to give as a gift or bring to a party.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"01\/07\/2013 14:00","GUID":"7cafbde1b13e4e4e9a45dccfc5d2b7da","MemberId":6009358,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Rmhdesigns","SubmittedDate":"01\/07\/2013 13:59"},{"Comment":"

At first I thought that the flavors in this bread would be weird, but that was what made me want to try it. I was pleasantly surprised! The lemon and thyme went together really well. The bread was very moist and flavorful. I would recommend baking it for about 50 minutes, mine was still a little unbaked in the middle. It also was a little crumbly, when I inverted it from the pan, the bread split in half and crumbled when cut. Overall, great bread! Don't be driven away from the different combination of flavors.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/30\/2011 14:21","GUID":"68a61d3794df491d9f8ec0561a8e5153","MemberId":6324211,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"1275","SubmittedDate":"12\/30\/2011 14:21"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"10\/25\/2011 14:09","GUID":"45082DB23248461E876A56FD9D88BAB7","MemberId":953760,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"taylor@taylor123.com","SubmittedDate":"10\/25\/2011 14:09"},{"Comment":"

I did not like the flavor of this.
