What is torte: Definition and 93 Discussions

I just tried out the Tropical Torte recipe for a show I am doing next week. It was great! - but I ended up trying out a variation. My supermarket did not carry mango sorbet, so I got Raspberry sherbet instead. I think I probably still like the mango better (I got to try it at a cluster...

Anyone try this yet? I do not know what i did... but i seem to have a lot of the filling left over. We have not eat it yet.. we will tomorrow... but hmm... We did not have luck with the pineapple corer... maybe cause the pineapple was hard to get leveled.. but it was just smashing it and...

So I am planning to make this tomorrow at my open house. I really want to show the new products and get everyone excited. The recipes calls for a 16 oz frozen pound cake. I live on the West Coast and we only have Sara Lee frozen pound cakes which only come in 10.75 oz. I was thinking I would...

I know someone posted this awhile back, but I can't find it now. I'm sure I could if I searched long enough, but I don't have time to go through 500 posts to find it. Someone was going to make Janet's PB Trifle as a torte. If it's you or you've done it, I'd love some input. TIA, Jane :)

I am thinking about making it for Super Bowl Sunday. Give me your review. Thanks!

I made this for a Christmas party tonight. My grandma asked me if it was real, she says it looks to pretty to be real! I gave her a big hug and kiss and told her how happy she made me. She asked why, I told her I made it! She said she seriously thought it was something my aunt put on the...

Some of you may know that every Sunday I bake something to take into work the next day. Seeing as my torte pans just arrived in the mail yesterday, I was really excited to make the Cherry Cordial Torte! I loved how easy it was -- especially that the brownies were so easy to remove from the...

I have a question about the Choc. Mint Silt Torte Did you use Pure Mint Extract or Peppermint extract? I don't have either, so I asked my neighbor friend. She has just enough peppermint, and a ton of pure mint. But she said the pure mint is super duper strong and thinks I should probably...

Anyone made either of these before? Recommendations? Tips? Preference?

do the torte pans hold the same volume as 2 9" round cake pans? (I'm thinking yes, but I know you guys will have the answer). Thanks :)

I absolutely LOVE this dessert recipe, and have been talking it up to all my upcoming hosts! I love it so much that I want to take it to a friend's house for a dinner party, but don't want it to lose its ooey-gooey yumminess in the time before dinner till dessert! Does anyone have any good...

Does anyone have a recipe for a pumpkin torte using our torte pans?

... it was AMAZING!!! My new very very favorite dessert. I'm making it for a show on Sat., and I am totally and completley in love with it. I'll have to convince more hosts to let me do it at their shows. mmmmm.......

OMG! This was sooo rich and sooo sweet. I showed my daughter a picture of it and she said "if I go buy the ingredients right now will you make it?" So I did and I had a small piece with some tea. I felt like I was eating a cup full of sugar. I'm not used to eating desserts with this much...

Does anyone have the recipe in the new catalog that is for the tart? It looks like it had pears or apples on the top.

I have a customer who really wants to know the recipe shown on the bakeware products section of the PC website. To me, it looks like just strawberries & whipped cream on a plain cake. Anyone know?

Every year our high school band does a fundraiser called dinner in the park and every year they have an auction and action off goodies. So this year my friend asked me if I would make a recipe for her and we picked out the peanut butter torte in the SB cookbook. When I got to the park my friend...

Did anyone else find this dry? We had it at our meeting tonight and I found it very dry. Maybe it was because my director made the cake part ahead of time so it was room temp not warm/hot and the marshmallows and cups didn't melt at all. It was basically brownie with melted pb chips and...

Is it necessary to use it? I'm just asking b/c I want to make this tomorrow and I don't have any parchment paper. I don't know if I should get some or if the torte will be ok without it??

Just received my change over today and my DH squealed like a little girl when he saw the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte. I agree looks wonderful. One thing though: I don't like marshmallows can somebody think of something that would be good instead of them? Is the marshmallow taste very...

anyone have it? I tried the search, but must be a moron cause as usual I didn't get what I needed. TIA.

Just finished making this. Very easy and delicious. I felt the pounds coming on as I was making it. A few tips 1.Don't forget the peanut butter. After the brownies were already in the oven I went on to the next step and couldn't figure out where the peanut butter was supposed to go-yup in the...

Does anyone have the recipes for Artichoke and Sundried Tomato Tart or Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte typed up? I have a future host requesting these and I figured I would ask here before I typed them up myself. Thanks!

Anyone tried a variation with peanut butter? I have a new consultant who wants to use something like this for a grand opening. Thought I would ask before trying to reinvent the wheel.

What is the height of the torte pans?

I am hoping anyone who has made this recipe before can help me. I created different steps for this recipe using as many tools as I could. Can anyone give me some feedback or pointers on how to make this a success? My show is this evening. Thanks so much!

One of my coworkers, who used to be a consultant years ago, brought a pumpkin flan to a potluck. She used the flan pans that PC used to sell. Can we do the same recipes with the torte pans? Thanks!

Hi all. I'm looking for a fun, yummy Christmasy-type dessert recipe that uses the torte pans. I have a host who is doing a December party, and she has specially requested this. Unfortunately, I'm having problems finding a recipe that fits this bill. Anyone know of some? Thanks...
