I first made this in Spring 1999 for our Easter dinner. I lost my copy of Taste of Home during a move and have not made it since. Today we will make this for our church fundraiser for youth missions.
UPDATE!!!! this torte sold for $55 at the Mission Auction!!!! Peanut received $44 of that for her trip and the remainder went to the Mission group as a whole.
