It is a very interesting tasting dessert, however, I was not an instant fan. My only regret is that I didn't make it to fly out to the Island of Madeira where I've been told is a fabulous Foodie destination.<br /><br />I can appreciate the ingredients you used for your alternate cake choice. Will have to bookmark it for later reference.<br /><br />I'm glad a foodie like yourself got to experience such a wonderful taste tasting event.<br /><br />Flavourful wishes,<br />ClaudiaFOODESSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03875552395027129685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-54021621965414527762010-07-04T12:30:01.480-07:002010-07-04T12:30:01.480-07:00what an incredible presentation and so much inform...what an incredible presentation and so much information!!! you really make me feel there is so much more to say about food.
