[...] month I joined the Daring Bakers! After drooling over the opera cake at Sugarlaws and Feeding Maybelle last month, I decided I would throw my hat into the ring and learn to bake [...]

I think your opera cake looks yummy, runny or not!

As for my favorite DB challenge… I’d have to say it was Julia’s French Bread. So rewarding!

I think the ooze factor actually adds to your cake’s visual appeal… and it certainly sounds like it tasted fantastic. Great job!

My favorite Daring Baker challenge? To make, I think I’d have to choose the Cinnamon Buns (though I’d love to have made the croissants). To serve, a toss-up between the Bostini and the Cheesecake Pops. Both had *really* high wow-factors.

Your friend hit pay dirt – this cake was a joy to serve. Even now, a week later, I’m still getting phone calls talking about “this cake”.

i am going to be the n+1th person and agree to opera cake – i can’t wait to try that! as a matter of fact, I made your petit fours (using homemade pound cake) for a friend (i know, i know – it’s practically june, but they taste so good!), and she loves them. i have had several, and they are delightful, though the dipping was hard work. thanks for the awesome recipes! keep up the delicious work.
