  1. Could you please share the "shelf life" expectancy? Guessing 1-2 weeks due to the cream? Thanks!

    1. It’s my picture that I posted on Canning Rebels. I don’t appreciate someone taking the time to steal my photo and then paste it onto their website and make money off it if.

    1. That isn't true, by law it is theft of property. Commenter above can actually copyright that photo and have it taken down. Personally I am saddened to read that a blogger has once again stolen someone else's photo and used it without permission.

    2. Bigger issues in the world to worry about a picture. Geez.....

    1. Whisky is the main part of the recipe,.. it's just cream with sugar. That's a little like saying "how do I make roast turkey, without adding the turkey.

    2. You could experiment and try flavourings used for baking. Eg rum essence. Has the flavour without the alcohol. 💖

  5. And how are they making money off it? I'm going to tell u a little secret. Watermark ALL ur photos. Do it all over the photo so ppl can steal ur photos but ppl will know where the photos have come from.

  6. I’m so curious about why someone would want to eliminate the alcohol from this recipe. It’s Bailey’s after all.

  7. That is not how the internet works. Posting original content online does NOT mean it belongs to the public. It's copyrighted by the creator.

  13. Bailey's is a registered Trade Mark. Best not call it Bailey's since they do have the little "TM" next to their name! Love the egos.... reminds me of the kids arguing in the back seat...
    "mine! no mine! MAAAAAAAA. tell him it's mine."

    ReplyDelete
  14. I just wish someone would answer the question of freshness date. Really? Just arguing like kids.

  15. I agree re the pic. Really not that hard to ask permission. As it obviously upset the photo owner an apology should have been forthcoming rather than rudeness.
    The owner is also correct in just because it is in a public place does not mean you can help yourself. Theft has many forms...

    1. I agree that this is theft unless the owner of the photo gives permission. I am an artist and have had photos stolen online. It's wrong. It doesn't matter if it's on the internet, it's still copyright theft. I hope the owner of this website has the integrity to remove the photo. I will never understand the level of rudeness that people seem to think is acceptable .

  16. Does it have to be refrigerated after it's ready? Can I give as a gift at room temp, and keep my own at room temp?

    1. Yes, it does have to be kept refrigerated.

  17. If a photo gets “stolen” numerous times how would one know where it originally came from without a watermark? Who would they ask? If I used it, I would ask this person not knowing it was yours originally

  18. What brand and/or type of whiskey is best in this recipe?

    ReplyDelete
  19. By cocoa, do you mean cocoa like Nestles Quick that is sweetened or the unsweetened type you bake with?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hello can you tell me is it scotch whisky or rye?
    Like would dewars white label work in this recipe? Thank you in advance.
