Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Your decorations are beautiful but for me the recipe is the best part of this post. I was in Germany some 50 years ago when hubby was in the army and got this cake at the bakery around the corner from where we lived, but the best cake came from a neighbor who had no oven but would take her cake in pan to local bakery to be baked. And then would share with us. If you have never had this it is well worth the time to make. again Thanks Pat
