Jen,

I must thank you!! I have been a HUGE hit at my new job since I brought this cake in for public consumption. Being Danish and having a great passion for Almonds, almond paste, marzipan – I am always on the look out for good recipes that aren’t the traditional ones my Grandmother taught me to make. Although – I think she would have added this one to her rotation (she baked a wonderful sweet every day of her life – she never went anywhere empty handed!) Thank you so much…this will go into one of my all time favorites. It is so easy – but people think you slaved over it. Perfect for making a good impression!

I love your site! Thanks for sharing you and your wonderful photography with the world!

Joomin – sorry it took so long to reply! I used regular all-purpose flour. Generally if a recipe calls for cake flour, I will specify, but if you see “flour” on my blog, it’s all-purpose flour. Apologies for any confusion! :)

Elle – Oh boy, I wish I could try crawdads in New Orleans. I have a sneaking suspicion that eating them in COLORADO just isn’t quite the same ;)

Michelle – thank you!
