You know, a favourite cake we buy here for special occasions is made of dacquoise with ground walnuts frosted with whipped cream and drizzled with caramel. It is called Caramel Crunch. I'm thinking if I make this it will be even better.doughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17784051.post-52050673063355744122010-03-29T23:55:30.256-07:002010-03-29T23:55:30.256-07:00aw, thanks, faithy! you are very sweet.

I was getting really frustrated, so I'm glad I remembered the torch. Then everything became really fun!<br /><br /><b>Jenn,</b> well, dacquoise is a meringue, with nuts, so you are still correct :)evil cake ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028488030328153196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17784051.post-63981517119788942452010-03-29T20:11:52.088-07:002010-03-29T20:11:52.088-07:00Ah it's good to know that almonds added to mer...Ah it's good to know that almonds added to meringue is called dacquoise. I've been calling it meringue batter on my blog LOL. Great pictures ECL!

Yours looks gorgeous! Also, I'm so impressed that you knew this was a dacquoise, especially because Rose didn't even tell us that. Very clever. But not as clever as the Onion news segment on Stouffer's helpful suicide prevention tips.Mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17784051.post-53915763110588833272010-03-29T18:22:52.034-07:002010-03-29T18:22:52.034-07:00Wow..the swirls on the ganache is beautiful!
