I wrote you a note and unforunately your inbox is full. But that's o.k., if you don't mind, I'll share my message with everyone else too.

I wrote to THANK-YOU!

I want to let you know how much I trust and value your words. Over the years I've read your posts I've come to trust and respect your knowledge and skills and have learned many many things from you.

For my Easter Buffet, I made both the Scott W. hazelnut cake and Margret Brauns black out cake, both- because you had reccomended them. They turned out absolutely great!

I can't thank-you enough! I'm really glad your here and thankful that you share so openly!

Anytime, anyway if I can ever help you, please let me know!

Thanks for making my day- I needed something to smile about ! Those are two of three of my favorite cakes (the other being Wooley's fudge brownie cake). I'm glad they worked for you. I'm also glad to have returned the favor on all the help you've been to me!

Can anyone tell me what's up with the personal messaging, though? My inbox is totally empty and I have had problems sending messages to others, also.

Check your out box, maybe clearing it would solve your problem.

[Athenaeus]

Wendy you box is full too I tried to PM you the other day but no luck

You, popular pastry chefs!

[Anna W.]

Not as popular as you think.......there are no messages in there, that is why it is so strange that you can't leave one.

Can anyone share the recipes for
Margaret Brauns Black out cake
Wooley Fudge Brownie cake
Scot W. Hazelnut Cake

or from which books are they taken from?

TIA

[Anna W.]

I don't have my books in front of me but I can look these up later if you need me to.

Anna,

I would appreciate if you can look it up later for me.

TIA

[Spoons]

Yes, your PM is full. I was sending you a chai message. Perhaps. later.

[W.DeBord]

I think there is a mailbox problem, that can only be fixed from the administrations side.

Anyway, I'm not certain this will work, but I'm going to post links to these recipes (to save time).

W.DeBord,

I thank you very much for those recipes.
I am going to try them as well and let you know the comments I get.

Thanks for posting those Wendy...took a while to get back to my computer.

Watch out the fudge brownie cake can be addictive- I am making 500 servings with caramel bc filling this week. I am only sad that I can not eat them all myself!
