Well, I am sorry I missed it, but it did look good. I will post a picture later. The cake I bought was from Three Tarts Bakery in Northbrook (threetartsbakery.com). It is a wonderful family bakery that I should frequent more often. I wanted to get their COLUMBIER CAKE: Almond cake with orange zest, but it called too late.
More importantly, the cake was intended for a 60th birthday of a wonderful person. This is what makes the whole occasion that much better.
p.s. Elena: we should make that Columbier at home one day!
