I don't know about the nutella, I'm not a big fan of hazelnuts. However, I have a cashew-macademia nut butter that would go awesome with it.

I can't wait to see your crepe-cake on your blog if you're posting it!<BR/><BR/>Graeme and I are special dessert operatives assigned to our respective continents. I specialize in chocolate and cake. Graeme specialized in fruit pastries and photography (his bonus cooking skill also comes in handy). Perhaps you'd like to join us in ridding the world of diets (ask the South American chapter). Okay, I'm losing my mind from too much studying... I'm glad you enjoyed the desserts! p.s. I don't actually think I've specialized in anything, ha ha :)Manggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-38268944739279442492007-07-19T10:57:00.000-04:002007-07-19T10:57:00.000-04:00I'm coming from Graeme's blog and I can tell you g...I'm coming from Graeme's blog and I can tell you guys are trying to sabotage my diet. ;)<BR/><BR/>Just kidding - Nutella is one of my weaknesses. <BR/><BR/>I made chocolate crepes a while ago for a cake and it was hard not to eat them all before putting the whole thing together, Manggy - your dessert looks wonderful!Patricia Scarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025126825422974626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-86545665542013614022007-07-18T19:16:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:16:00.000-04:00Never had a fresh apricot!?

"La Delice" from Cafe Breton is stuffed with bananas, nutella on top, with vanilla ice cream and sliced almonds.

Can't wait to see what you came up with.<BR/><BR/>By the way, that isn't piped on, it's just spatula-ed carefully. No way I would load my piping bag with that expensive, <I>sweet, sweet, candy</I> (I'm channeling Homer Simpson)! When I do pipe (I'm new to this too!), I practice by piping onto a plate, then when I'm satisfied, I just load it back in the bag.Manggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-58343590261621673692007-07-18T12:15:00.000-04:002007-07-18T12:15:00.000-04:00No. Freakin'.
