I'm thinking I'll make it for Christmas, as there will be lots of people around to watch my boys while I embark on the cake-making madness. Your cakes turned out so beautifully. I love all of your variations, and the mascarpone/chestnut frosting sounds amazing. I'm glad the brandy syrup doesn't add much, because brandy isn't something I ever have, and I didn't want to buy a bottle for this cake.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661858854659186118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-5688344544742627012009-11-25T17:26:20.467-05:002009-11-25T17:26:20.467-05:00You are a genuous. they look perfect.
