I was very disappointed in this recipe, although the cake turn out very well, the filing was not as good as a filling that would have used egg yolks and I did not like the glaze at all, I use a glaze that is much better than the one given. I also was disappointed in the picture, it shows a much higher cake, and one 9 inch cake will never come that high. I think the picture was very deceiving. I will not be making this cake again.
