You too.<BR/><BR/>Miss Scarlett - Thanks! I definitely won't make that buttercream again. I did like the addition of the coffee but not the base recipe. Oh well!<BR/><BR/>April - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Maybahay - Thanks! You should definitely try the meringue.<BR/><BR/>Javagirl - Thanks! It was a wonderful Christmas.<BR/><BR/>Nora - Gotta at least try once, huh?<BR/><BR/>Molly - What a description...thanks!<BR/><BR/>Bittersweet - Kind of strange eating a log isn't it?!<BR/><BR/>Lynn - Well, I think your husband has good taste!<BR/><BR/>Veron - They are addictive aren't they?<BR/><BR/>Kristen - Thanks!

The buttercream was a little bit too heavy for me, too, but since I used not quite ripe strawberries for the filling it was a perfect combination. It's great to meet other DBs from all around the world.
