It's multi-layered, rich and yummy, but not for the novice. Be sure to gather ALL ingredients before you start - there are many of them. <BR/>I still like better, however, that strawberry and cream dessert made in Paris. Much lighter, but when only chocolate will do, Opera is worth having or dreaming about.<BR/>Do taste next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-44444978300480427882007-09-25T19:15:00.000-04:002007-09-25T19:15:00.000-04:00Merci jeanette mistress of longearsHow perceptive ...Merci <B>jeanette mistress of longears</B><BR/>How perceptive you are!<BR/><B>No dessert is too much trouble.</B>Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-77015408308065831572007-09-25T19:01:00.000-04:002007-09-25T19:01:00.000-04:00That would be the day - when a rectangular office ...That would be the day - when a rectangular office birthday cake even remotely resembled l'opera!

Everything's looking so tempting, chocolate fragrance's wafting over from your blog while typing! And all I've got in the house is Nestle's Tollhouse chocolate chips, in the fridge. Dire straights, wouldn't you agree?
