Aren’t they the best?! I’m always afraid of eating too many when I make them so I make sure I’ll be giving some away as a gift or having friends over to help me eat them :-) Then I freeze any that are left over. At least that way I can’t eat what’s left all at once!!!

Hi Esther. Thank you for registering! I’m thrilled to know you enjoyed this cake so much. It’s teally easy and you can make the mering the night before, so it’s a snap to put together. Instead of using lemon curd, you can also make it with fresh fruit (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc) if you like. Just crush some and lightly mix into the whipped cream.

Addictive, I can’t stop eating them. I love the dark and white chocolate blend instead of milk chocolate.

Hi Korena

Thanks so much for stopping by and registering on my webzine! I’m so pleased you enjoyed my article on Scones & Cream Teas. I lived for 15 years in England and have to admit I miss it at times! Really lovely to meet you ~

Wishing you a delicious week ahead,

Hi Marie – these look amazing! I love the idea of baking the scones as a round and cutting them in wedges after. Also, I really enjoyed your Scones & Cream Teas post – my good friend and I have been planning/dreaming about going on a “tea tour” of England, so your recommendations will come in handy ;)

Dear Molly, Thank you so much for writing to me about your love of Montreal and your extended search for the recipe for a Hazelnut gateau that you enjoyed there many years ago! I'm so pleased to know you saw the picture of cake I created for my boyfriend's son, Antione: Antoine's Hazelnut Vanilla Butter Cake with Praline Swiss Meringue & Kalhua Buttercreams, and loved it! You've made my day ♥ The recipes are my own, and I haven't had time to publish them yet. To be perfectly honest, I sometimes create things on the spur of the moment, tasting as I go along in some (many!) cases, but I don't always have time to write the recipes so if I want to recreate something for a special request, I have to pay attention to the quantities of each ingredient I used! Luckily, I did make notes for the cake recipe, and can easily develop the recipe for the buttercream which I made with hazelnut praline (my own of course!). I'll do that and post the recipe for you here on my webzine ~ will send you an email to let you know when it's done :-) May I ask you where and how you came about the image of my cake? Was it on my EpicureanPiranha Flickr photo portfolio? You'll find lots of my food photos there! (Just click on the link to visit). Or was it via another source? Thanks for letting me know! Wishing you a delicious day, ~ marie, the EpicureanPiranha

Dear Marie:

My husband and I have tried for over twenty years to replicate a Hazelnut cake we first had in the city of our heart, Montreal. We’ve had many bakeries try, even got the cake as part of the featured cakes in the famous BlackHound Bakery, NYC but none really come close. When I saw your Antoine’s Hazelnut Vanilla Butter Cake with Praline Swiss Meringue & Kalhua Buttercreams it was love at first sight. Then I got to your site and I think you are quintessential Montreal and quite talented. Is there any way to get the recipe for your (Antoine’s) cake? Or can you point me toward a recipe somewhere else?
How I miss Montreal. Thanks for the picture of you and the cake.

– Molly

Hi Karen

Just read your delightful message on my Challah recipe and I’m so happy you gave it a try and loved it!

I’ve been very busy (with renovating & redecorating our home!), and haven’t updated my webzine in a while I’m afraid, but do have a look at EpicureanPiranha.com next week; I’ll be posting several new articles and recipes you may like!

If there are any recipes, food, or baking/cooking-related questions you’d like answered, let me know! Take care and thank you so much for being an active member of http://www.EpicureanPiranha.com!

Have a delicious day,

Marie

The description of your quest convinced me to try your Challah recipe. Even with my approximate conversions, it was phenomenal!! My search for the best challah recipe has indeed come to an end. Thank-you!
