Help! I threw away my use and care card and they aren't on the website yet. Does anyone have this typed up they can share yet? Thanks!!

Has anyone put together a file of recipes to go along with the Torte Pan Set? I couldn't find any in the files section. I just don't want to recreate the wheel if it isn't necessary. ;) I started to collect a few from CC and put it into Word, but can only think of 3 recipes off the top of...

I made this tonight to bring to friends for dessert...and the crust was SO HARD! It tasted good, but VERY difficult to "chisel" into. haha Anyone else have this happen? I was expecting the shell part to be almost sponge like. At the very least I was expecting it to be softer. :) I toasted...

What is the torte cake recipe on the cover of the cooking show invitation postcards? It is a chocolate cake, and looks like it has cool whip piped in a lattice pattern over the top. Thanks so much!

Does anyone know the name of the dessert that is on the Post Card Invites. It's a chocolate torte of some kind with whipped cream all on the top. Thanks in advance!

i'm making it ahead for my show tonite. i just mixed up the batter and it's really thick. For those of you that have made this- is this right? I've double checked the ingedients and recipe. It says to pour into torte pan. There's no way I'm pouring mine. I'd need to spread it. Thanks!

Making this next week for a show. Will I have trouble finding the whole blanched hazelnuts in a reg. grocery store? Thanks!

Hi! Just got the torte pans and want to try them out for a gathering this weekend. Thought I would be able to do tons of cool things with them, but now that I have them and I'm looking around I'm not finding many recipe that use them? Anyone care to share their favorite torte recipes with me...

Hi all, I've got 2 shows back to back on Sat. (WooHoo, I think, lol - Hope I can walk by nightfall, lol) Anyway, I've got one hostess who has the Torte pans and they are still in box...trying to tell her different recipes and how EASY they are to use...well now she wants something Pumpkiny...

Does anyone have this recipe and can post it here for me? My hubby has asked for it for his birthday Tuesday so I have to shop and make it tomorrow but I've lost my recipe. I thought after my computer crashed for the 4th time that I rebuilt ALL my recipe collection but obviously not :(...

Help I am at the DMV and forgot the recipe at homen would someone be kind enough to post the ingredients? I know that it has dark rum, mint extract, yellow cake mix, and of course limes, but not sure of the rest. I wanted to practice the recipe this weekend for the demo I have later this week...

Well ... I made a cake tonight and against my better judgement, I used the torte pans. Even used the circles of parchment to avoid sticking and trying out the cake. Well, after 15 minutes I had to pull it out of the oven b/c I could smell it burning. Didn't want it to burn more in the...

I was looking at this recipe and I don't have rum ... and I'm not going to buy a whole bottle of rum just for a 1/2 a cup ... so I was thinking of using rum extract instead. Anyone know how this will work? Also ... I personally think the mint would be gross ... so I was thinking of leaving it...

I have a great host who is looking for the white fluted tool that used to come with the torte pans. Does anyone have one they would like to sell? Please PM me.

I just requested help for this recipe and now noticed that Kelly said she could not get her oil and p butter chips to melt. UGH, stressing out here! Did anyone else have this problem? Any tips? I wish I had the ingredients here to try this right now! Please, please help!

I'm making this tonight for the first time and need to know if I can just use nonstick cooking spray or if I must go and try to find nonstick cooking spray with flour like it mentions. Would the regular spray work out okay? I've never used my torte pans so I have no idea. Also, what's the...

I've decided to make my DH this tomorrow since he's never had it nor does he even know it exists but he loves ice cream sandwiches and I figure with all that's going on with my MIL he's not really in the mood to celebrate his birthday. We do have a rather large birthday cake in the freezer now...

I want to make the Pumpkin Chiffon Torte but I'm wondering if there's any reason I couldn't do it in the Deep Dish Pie Plate rather than the Springform pan...anyone know?

how do you transport your cakes made in the torte pans? I have a tupperware cake saver thing (really old) that I use at home, but it is barely bigger around than the torte pan cakes and always gets frosting on the inside sides of the lid since it is such a tight squeeze. I've made cakes at...

Every time I see a recipe for the torte pans, it tells me to cut a piece of parchment and put it in the center. I'm not the most coordinated person in the world, and very bad at drawing and cutting straight, so I have never used the pans! I'd like to use the lime torte recipe at a future...

The torte that is in SB, it should be okay if I make it tonight and store it in the fridge for a potluck tomorrow at work, right?

Making them both for the first time at a show this week.. any tips, good or bad???

Does anyone have a file of Torte Pan recipes they can share? I have searched and can't find very many. Thanks!

Probably a stupid question, but just in case...the recipe calls for mint extract. I have peppermint extract. The grocery store didn't have anything besides peppermint. Is there a difference? (wondering if the flavor or intensity is different). thanks

Does anyone have a substitute for the mango sorbet in the Tropical Torte? Mango sorbet isn't available in remote locations and would like to know if anyone has tried it with something else.

I'm entering a strawberry recipe contest tomorrow morning and I was wondering if there was any way to make a torte crust out of strawberries. I was thinking layer of strawberries covered with a layer of chocolate or maybe even graham cracker crust? Any ideas would be greatly...

I have the old flan pans and was wondering if they are the same as the torte pans. Or should I order the torte pans?

I made this for our cluster meeting last month. It was Great!! Only one problem, to demo at a show it really doesn't show alot of products. So I was going to just bring it to my shows already made ( also looks very blah) they were teasing me that it looks like the Menorah Cake without the...

If I have neither, which is better to get first? I do have the old style torte pan.

Does anyone have this recipe typed out? TIA! :)
