I'm so glad to be a part of this group! Thanks again everyone!<BR/><BR/>Tanna,<BR/>I'm so tempted to make the mirror again and just eat it. It was really quite delicious. <BR/><BR/>Anh,<BR/>I think I'll like the texture of the cream more if I use 2 tbsp rather than 2.5 tbsp of gelatin.<BR/><BR/>Meeta,<BR/>The juice was so delicious!<BR/><BR/>Lydia,<BR/>I'm looking forward to making that Boston Cream Pie and trying my hand at sponge cake again. <BR/><BR/>Mary,<BR/>Lol morgue settings! Yeah I was wondering about the gelatin since I saw a few recipes with less. I think I will definitely like it more if it used less.<BR/><BR/>Andrea,<BR/>Daring bakers think alike. ;D<BR/><BR/>Patricia,<BR/>I love trying new things. The DB challenges are always great!<BR/><BR/>Deborah,<BR/>Definitely.<BR/><BR/>Ari,<BR/>We spread out the cake making but it still took a long time. <BR/><BR/>WC,<BR/>Oh interesting! I've never seen these cakes before.<BR/><BR/>RV,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Quellia,<BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Dharm,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Peabody,<BR/>I still loved the challenge, thanks for choosing it!<BR/><BR/>Wokandspoon,<BR/>Aw thanks. :)<BR/><BR/>Lis,<BR/>Old house = no AC = a bad day to bake. Lol. But it was worth it stealing little spoonfuls of the cream. Yummy ;D<BR/><BR/>Veron,<BR/>The foil thing was really... unquie. Lol. <BR/><BR/>Tigerfish,<BR/>In the end probably not worth the time and effort but definitely worth it considering all the things I learned.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl,<BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Ivonne,<BR/>I would have liked the cake more if it didn't have that rubbery layer on the bottom. Good learning experience though!<BR/><BR/>Jenny,<BR/>Aw, it was so delicious before getting rubbery too. :(<BR/><BR/>Jerry,<BR/>I really wish I had AC that day. <BR/><BR/>Dolores,<BR/>Learning is the best part. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476501320662187793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-65395952314101053302007-08-02T23:59:00.000-07:002007-08-02T23:59:00.000-07:00I think your cake is gorgeous... it withstood the ...I think your cake is gorgeous... it withstood the heat quite nicely.

Bavarian cream doesn't normally have that much gelatin in it. I think it was needed here to give a firm foundation for the mirror.
