ReplyDeleteoh! AND it's filled!
ReplyDeletetwice as nice.
do you use cake flour when you make it, or can i use regular all-purpose flour?
ReplyDeleteI have not done it with regular flour, but it never hurts to TRY, right? The thing is, I am not so great a cook to deviate from recipes too much. On some things I do, but not often.
