I'm in Denver and it's very dry here so I know I would need to syrup the roulade otherwise it become crispy like chips. Is it dry where you're at?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-50624563257758085542010-03-09T14:03:04.197-08:002010-03-09T14:03:04.197-08:00Your cake turned out great.

I hope you enjoy your second slice better. We're enjoying our leftover cake (and there's not much "sharing" outside our house going on, except really really close friends) :o)Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-74989940734436728092010-03-09T09:56:29.510-08:002010-03-09T09:56:29.510-08:00Brighton!

He helped replicate Brighton in California here http://www.beachboardwalk.com/<br /><br />I definitely was not going to bake this cake either until Raymond and Faithy posted. Your's looks very pretty. <br /><br />My kitchen was an explosion of dishes, pots, pans, measuring things by the time I was through. It took an hour this morning washing up after a night recuperating!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092314449327044507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-48488626886893303922010-03-08T19:03:55.317-08:002010-03-08T19:03:55.317-08:00Great process to go by.

Perhaps the ganache moistened things overnight. I didn't find it to be a great-tasting cake (good, but not great), but at least mine was moist.<br /><br />Your slice with the star pattern is very pretty!NancyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932498557111486912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-54462050930103721492010-03-08T18:15:48.783-08:002010-03-08T18:15:48.783-08:00ב''ה

I made it already and it was wonderful! :)<br /><br />btw it sort of looks like there is a thumb sticking out of the cake in the bottom picture...Mendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134687611166201263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-23856523703454654252010-03-08T17:34:59.963-08:002010-03-08T17:34:59.963-08:00Nicola, your cake looks lovely!

Actually my apricot jam was a bit hard but then after it cooled in the fridge but when i removed it from the fridge and left it to room temperature, surprisingly it became spreadable consistency.faithyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442407119836426810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-14215081854043939872010-03-08T17:30:34.438-08:002010-03-08T17:30:34.438-08:00Ok..

I need to go over what I did, because mine is super moist, even today, after a day of sitting out there.<br /><br />Like I mention to Virginia, I did cover the cut up end with plastic wrap, and I did not even use the syrup (because as Rose mention you don't really need it if you are serving it the next day)...<br /><br />Nevertheless, I agree with you, we all have to wait on Raymond to post and motivate us.Monicahttp://www.sweetbitesblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-5205669397659641492010-03-08T15:40:01.513-08:002010-03-08T15:40:01.513-08:00Love the little star shape in your cake...looks li...Love the little star shape in your cake...looks like I'm gonna have to make this someday:)sairahttp://thenovicecookbakes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787493445660990153.post-80970145520811856602010-03-08T14:54:31.890-08:002010-03-08T14:54:31.890-08:00Lovely, absolutely lovely.
