Ok Tara,
You've decided to step into battle with this mighty Goliath of a Gourmet. I now present you with your challenge:
Martha Stewart's Pine Cone Cake

And yet, because I have a soft side and because I got to choose from a pool of choices, I will permit you to accept--as an alternative--any of the challenges from the original pool of challenges that I chose from. Fair? I think so.
Let us know what doom you pick for yourself.
Fondly,
The Amateur Gourmet

She has to make EIGHT of those buggers? You have a cruel streak I never knew about.

All righty, pine cone cakes it is! I'll start channeling my inner pastry chef. I am unfazed. Really. :)
(At first I glanced at the ingredients list and only saw the whole almonds--the ones that get turned into a paste for the actual cake--and for a second thought Martha was such a sadist that she'd have people slice all the almonds by hand. hee!)

Does Tara have to follow the directions verbatum or can she use Martha's Minion Technique?
