Title: A big disapppointment
Review: This book looks so beautiful and appealing and I see that the other reviews at amazon.com are good. However, I'm writing this a few hours before a Chanukah party, and I've just tossed out my second try at Dreidl cake, which my little boy is dying to have for our party. I've followed all the directions, but the cake falls apart after it's inverted after 15 minutes of cooling (as directed by the recipe) If it falls apart, it can't be cut into a dreidl shape. The first time I let it cool 15 minutes; the second time, 20 minutes. Now I'm going to try to let it cool completely before inverting but it may not be ready by party time. So I'm baking chocolate chip cookies as a backup. If there is some special trick to making this cake, I wish the author would have written it into the book. Whatever it is, it's not fast and it's not easy if you have to figure out the trick by trial and error.
