Im making this cake right now and LEMME TELL YOU GUYS its a LOT of work but the end result was AMAZING! After all that effort, cutting into the cake itself and eating what took so long to make is so satisfying! I used Cream Cheese instead of Marscapone and it tasted just as good!

I made this for my mom's birthday this week and it was an absolute hit. Thank you so much!

[trinaandjack]

Just made this beautiful cake for Thanksgiving-if you are detail oriented and like devoting yourself to cooking (and I do!) this cake is for you! I adjusted the ingredients to 1.5 the listed size to accommodate my pans (9", and 10") and the increase was perfect. I also skipped the step of removing the cake layer and trimming it off-I added the chocolate and caramel layer directly onto the the walnut cake, thus elminating some steps and dishes without compromising the look or taste.This cake is beautiful and tastes fabulous-looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

I've made this cake about 3 times each time it was a hit .I'm going to make it this June again with all the steps including the chocolate flower which I always used to miss out because of lack of time.
