MaryJane, I just wanted to let you know that I love reading your BBB (Baking Banter Blog) even when I'm certain that I won't make the recipe. I don't like Black Forest cake (not a big fan of chocolate layer cakes in general and especially not syrup-soaked ones; yes, I know I'm weird) but reading the introduction and the recipe was great fun. Honestly, this is why I've stopped reading most cooking magazines (the ones that used to be stories and are now just "quick to make" or "best" recipes) and why I keep reading this and the Baking Sheet. So, at least on my account, please don't feel as though you need to apologize for going "off topic!"
