Mmmmm, cannolis! I can imagine this as a layer cake with chocolate ganache poured over the top. Vaccaro's--Wow! They make the Italian cookies and pastries that your Italian nonna wished she could make! They actually sell the ricotta cream by the tub and broken cannoli shells separately--cannoli chip 'n dip! Right in the middle of Baltimore's Little Italy, so you can have your pasta pig-out, then get a little exercise when you walk to the bakery for dessert. BTW, it's spelled cassata cake (at least at Vaccaro's). I love the idea of cannoli chip n dip. I love all kinds of dip, and that would just be perfect with a good book or good movie & the girlfriends. Thanks for sharing! ~ MaryJane
