Turned out perfect just as is. Everyone loved it and it was gone in minutes when I took it to a church social.

So yummy! So EASY! I made this for Mother's Day. My loving mother-in-law thought it looked and tasted like it came from a bakery (high praise). This elegant and impressive looking torte is a breeze to make. I simplified it further and knocked off some calories by substituting a 12 ounce container of Lite Cool Whip for the whipping cream and lite cream cheese. I used the juice from the frozen berries as directed, but used fresh berries for appearance. The mushy thawed berries? They went into the Arnold Palmers (half lemonade and half iced tea). Thank you!

I love super easy, super fast and totally scrumptious! The ladyfingers make this even easier then a traditional torte... and no one will complain! Trust Me! I used fresh strawberries instead of frozen. There is a layer of ladyfingers in the center so remember to save some after step 4. Thanks Chef! PAC 2007

~WELCOME TO MY PAGE~ This page is dedicated to my Dad, who I love & miss each and every day! 3-12-29 to 1-22-10 My name is Star and I am originally from Rhode Island. I have been married for 20 years to my wonderful husband, Phil. We live in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern CA. I love cooking, eating a variety of foods and drinking wine (in moderation , of course)! There's nothing better than a wonderful meal! In Northern CA there is an abundance of fresh ingredients year round as well as wonderful wines! We have been fortunate enough to travel and experience wonderful cuisine, but I miss all the ethnic foods I grew up with. I love to cook and try new recipes. Being the daughter of 2 caterers, food has always been a big part of my families' life. Some of the best memories I have are of family gatherings around the kitchen table or counter. The kitchen was and truly is the "heart of the home"! Back East we enjoy food for passings, celebrations, comfort or everyday life. Menus are varied according to the holidays at hand. Portuguese for Labor Day, Italian for St. Joseph's Day, Irish for St. Patrick's Day, Polish for Easter and the list goes on. Tradition has deep roots in the East and "Food: "is" The Way To Everyone's Heart"! <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u187/starryrose1956/hot_wieners.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> "R.I.
