First off, I think that you're way too modest: All your desserts look complex and wonderful to me. That said, what were you thinking? Four days to make a cake!?!? Truly it is a death wish. That said, what with the extra bottles of wine, and this incredible dessert, I'd be honored to dine with you anytime...

You get a serious A for effort here. Wow! That looks amazing. And, you impressed the pastry chef. Wonderful news. I would never attempt this one, I'm afraid. You are my hero, as per usual. xoxo

What a great post, Shelley. and what a glorious cake! After reading through your post I don't think I'm ready to tackle such an elaborate cake, but what an inspiration you are for making the commitment especially after hearing the news that a pastry chef would be a guest for your dinner! No pressure! Bravo!

Good gracious!!! I love the "as if" in parenthesis... I am not sure if I have this much patience, so good call on not writing down the recipe. Nice to look at, if someone serves it, I will definitely eat it. But that is pretty much it for this cake.
