I still need to experiment with it! Maureen: You're sweet! and the point of DB is being a little over your head, I think. Erik: Flattery will get you anywhere, baby. Lynn: Thanks for your kind words! Shelly and Jude: I agree, it looked insane until you broke it down into more manageable chunks. But what fun! Lauren:

I think that it's all about the spirit of the challenge and being daring! You rule!

It is truly amazing how well you can bake. I am impressed. Well done. I cannot believe you even attempted this recipe with all the limitations. It is truly amazing how well you can bake.

I grew up thinking that a yule log was something you tossed in the fireplace at Christmas. This was delicious, and made a great dessert by any standard. It tasted a bit like a really good ice cream cake. Of the _dessert_ type foods that Cheryl has made that she can eat, this is among the best, if not the best. As Cheryl briefly mentioned, not only did she make this, but she transported it 400 miles to North Carolina (and back - we were only there about 48 hours, so there was some left) to share with my family after Christmas dinner. No one was acutely aware that the dessert was a "specialty" food (they know Cheryl has dietary limitations, but I don't think any of them appreciate just how much has to be done to get around them), and all of them really enjoyed it.

You are my hero! I am absolutely amazed at your talent. I hope to participate in the DB challenges in 2009 -- I was a bit intimidated to start with the French Yule Log :) I'd like to ease into it - ha ha. Wowee wow wow. You are my hero!

I had to read it several times over before thinking it was doable. Yeah the recipe was definitely a bit too much at first. I had to read it several times over before thinking it was doable.
