My boys are all grown (my baby is 16) and although I've taken on some pretty hefty tasks as a home cook while raising my kids, the Opera cake may never have been made back then. You brought back some memories that are warm and fuzzy for me with your tale and lovely cakes, so thanks! And tell your husband that although I'm now tempted, I will restrain myself from writing into my announcement of the June Challenge tomorrow, "sow your land with wheat, mill the first harvest..." I would have been hilarious, though. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111393649458027742.post-41757108820184403352008-05-30T19:20:00.000-07:002008-05-30T19:20:00.000-07:00I LOVE them!
