Usually can't find it in Chicago, and if so, have to pay to have them make an entire cake and pay for it.<br /><br />So I decided to make it myself. OMG! Back when I did it, at least 12 years ago it was almost impossible to find a recipe. So I kept notes and made my own. It came out just fine, but sure was a lot of work and I was glad I kept track of what I was doing.<br /><br />There is nothing on earth like "the" opera!<br /><br />Stef in sunny ChicagoSteverinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713212685819342280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-3932191773085446492009-09-08T19:00:01.796-04:002009-09-08T19:00:01.796-04:00wow! yummy!wow! yummy!ELVIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710267898161673356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-45500926369148108742009-09-06T21:23:51.175-04:002009-09-06T21:23:51.175-04:00Pas de tout!
