    The cream cheese has to set at the room temperature for at least 2 hours for it to get soft enough to work with it. This recipe is a brilliant idea of dressing up the angle cake and make it so very elegant and special. It is so easy to make and the ending result is so delicious. A wonderful recipe!!!

    I have made this twice. It is soo incredibly easy and everyone thinks I've slaved all day on it. I feel a little like a scammer when I make it. : Very tasty, easy recipe!

    This is a great dessert that is easy to make. I think some of the problems some people have had with the cake falling apart could be because of the brand of cake they are using. I've made it several times with different angel food cakes and the best one to use is the sour cream angel food cake from the bakery. My friends beg me to make this for them for every get together!

    The taste was awful. When you cut the cake it falls apart. Bad recipe!

    I had bought strawberries and angel food cake yesterday and then saw this show this morning. I thought what a great idea. I know people will complain that I didn't used the ingredients listed, but I put a different twist on this recipe. I mixed the whipped cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice and placed the cream cheese mixture inside the hollowed out cake. I then added my strawberries (soaked in amaretto and a little sugar on top of the cream cheese mixture.. I frosted the cake with a small tub of lite cool whip. When I sliced the cake I added a few more strawberries over the cake. What a wonderful desert. I'm lucky as I live in strawberry county, so I'll be making this desert a lot. Thanks Sandra for giving me a great idea.

    I just watched her make in on TV. There was no cinnamon extract -- so don't worry about it. Forget dividing the whipped topping and wondering what to do with the rest -- she just used the topping to frost and left the rest in the container. She did not use the topping in the filling. Also, the whipped creme cheese needs to be at room temperature so leave it out a few hours. I have not made this--but looked like 3 star so that is what I gave it.

    I have made this for welcoming new neighbors, holidays, and to take to sick friends. All have commented on the surprise inside and asked for the recipe. I used common sense in deciding when to add the extract. I will be using this again for an Easter potluck, I will use pastel sprinkles on top in place of the pecan halves.

    I made this for my brother and his wife and they loved it. In response to the confusion about the recipe.....add the cinnamon extract and half the whipped topping to the filling. The filling comes out creamy and not too thick. Very good.

    what?......you do divide the whipped topping. Sorry, I guess it wasn't that obvious to you.

    I found that the cream cheese was hard to work with even with the whipped version; the taste was odd with the whipped topping; next time may try using the whip topping as the filling and icing with real cake icing; However, it was a beautiful cake; can impress the best of them!!

    i haven't tried this recipe yet...sorry...but i think people are reading into this too much. Just don't divide the whipped topping and add the cinnamon extract to the core mixture. I'm sorry but it's pretty obvious...
