    UUhhh... why can't I find the almond pastry cream recipe? (sorry that I rated it one star - had to rate it if I wanted to post! I'll make the recipe once I find the almond pastry cream recipe.

    I think to avoid the problems that dearbambi had, remember that the directions say to use the almond pastry cream COLD, wrap the cake with plastic wrap (I would already have a couple of pieces under the bottom layer before I started assembly and CHILL 2+ hours to set the filling before proceding with the recipe. Maybe another tip might be to make the filling and chill it before spreading onto the cake, this way you know it is thick enough not to ooze all over.

    The presentation of this absolutely flopped for me. The layers broke when trying to stack them. Using the paste at room temperature was way too thin and it oozed over the size. The cake looks like a disaster, but the taste is great. I was making it for a friends birthday, so all of this time was wasted. My family will enjoy the cake, it's very good, but I'm back to the kitchen to bake something else to take to my friend, which is VERY discouraging.

    while i was in culinary school i made the orange petit fours and filled the sponge with the almond pastry cream that goes with this recipe. both recipies are really great and easy to follow. from a professional satndpoint, it's a very versitile recipe that can be matched with many other fillings. i actually made larger portions of the cake and plated it with toasted almond ice cream, and irish lace cookies to create an individual desert. the directions are great because they are clear enough that anyone can follow them. as a side note my chef was impressed with the outcome.:
