I thought I had commented on this one before, but I guess I just thought it… I always have the same problem trying to photograph things, it looks good on my camera and then I find flaws when I see it on the computer… that and people who try to eat the food before its picture is taken. I wouldn't have noticed the thumb print as such except that you admitted it.

Bittersweet is a great book. It looks great.
Don't you just hate when you think the photo turned out and you notice something tiny on it when you down load it.

Hi, Veron, been here before but first time to comment! Love your Reine de Saba. I haven't made this in a while, gotta try Medrich's version! As for the thumb print, I didn't even see it;)

Brilynn- I'm seriously thinking of having my guests who eat food from the test kitchen sign some kind of agreement that there will be know rushing of the photographer ..he..he
Peabody – Yes , I just discovered Bittersweet and I truly love it. Yeh, I hate discovering little flaws in otherwise good pictures. I guess practice makes perfect.
Stefoodie – It's the first time I heard it called Reine de Saba…but it does translate pretty good in spanish huh…

I've always made the Simcha Beck/Julia Child (definitive) version of the Reine de Saba cake... it's in a couple of Julia's books. I'd love to make both versions and compare!

I just got my dvds on Julia Child's French Chef series and I do see a demo for the Queen of Sheba. I'm sure to try that version too.

I've always been in love with chocolate but this looks like it could take my chocoholism to the next level.

Nicely done! I made the Queen of Sheba Cake last winter and the recipe actually included finishing with a chocolate glaze of 225 grams of chocolate, 165 grams of butter and 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup melted together in a double boiler and poured over the cake. It gives the cake a dark, glossy chocolate finish. Talk about decadent …
