I recently heard about a really interesting dessert called "Far Breton Cake." http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Far-Breton-231583 I'm curious to make it, but I'm sort of afraid given the somewhat daunting set of instructions (and the fact that I've never baked a cake of any kind.) Maybe you'll think of doing it for a future Banter? *hopeful smile* I'll put it on my ever-growing list, Katherine. Still, I think you should just give it a whirl. Don't be afraid. I always say, if you can read, you can bake. I wouldn't bother with the flaming brandy, but the rest of it sounds pretty straightforward - actually, it sounds easier than most cakes. I think you can do this, really - and think how proud you'll be of yourself! Let us know, if you do. PJH
