Just one question. The recipe says to sprinkle the almonds on top of the jam, and then drizzle the icing over top. Here in the blog you say to drizzle the icing over the jam and then sprinkle almonds on top. Which one works best? BTW, I love the blog and the recipes. As a pastry chef in training, I think this site has some of the best recipes and step by step directions around. I check the blog almost daily for new directions.
Thanks Chef Judy.....This is a question of both baker's aestetics and getting the almonds to stick to the dessert. Does this work better for the baker if the almonds are directly on the filling or on the icing? Which "look" do you like? Thanks for including our postings and website in your baking education!
