Well, to me it doesn't really mater what the orig recipe is, it could be
just a slight variation or a different method that might make it closer
to a bakery style. The one we ordered from Haydels was not a "filled"
cake & they are right in LA. The problem is, they are VERY expensive.

Thanks though, I'll try the recipe you sent some day when I have the
energy to try again :-)
