Thanks! That Boston Creme Pie sounds really good!
 
You have done me a big favor by sharing your recipes. I will be getting my
Torte pans tomorrow, and am so glad to have recipes to use that have been tested by you, right? Which one is your favorite?
 
Thanks for sharing!! I think the torte pans are going to be one of the biggest sellers for me this Spring. Everyone I have showed them to so far wants them.
 
Thanks for posting!!!! German Chocolate Cake is my favorite!!!! I can't wait to try it :D
 
Thanks for the added recipes! Although I love the idea of the Tropical Rum Cake - I'm not sure how many hosts will want that as a demo - this gives some alternatives to suggest! Plus - it seems that whenever people have a choice, CHOCOLATE always wins!;)
