  1. Yum! Made this for My 3 Chefs, Almond Paste theme. This is easy and tasty. I did not add in the raspberry jam. I did sprinkly on slivered almonds in between the two applications of glaze. Also, I accidently bought almond filling instead of almond paste. The filling is more like jam and I just spread it, probably easier than having to roll out paste and I found the flavor exceptional!! The only reason this gets four stars from me is that I am geometrically chanllenged and it took me way too long to figure out how to lay out the dough (I looked on Food Network and there wasn't a better description, in fact it was more confusing). I'm still not sure I did it the same way Whisper or Sandra Lee did, but whatever I did worked. A picture of the dough layering would make this a 5 star recipe!

  2. FABULOUS but really hard to get the triangles to fit on top of one another. Keep jelly or whatever filling you are using away from edges so they seal well. Just thinly slice the almond paste and placed it on the triangles and it was terrifc and saved a step. Remember that you need a really big pizza pan or huge baking sheet as this is very big sun!! Scrumptious!!!

  3. Very Poor explanation on how to arrange dough. Can not place solid almond disk on dough with a hole in the middle!! How do you arrange the triangle pieces? NEED MUCH BETTER EXPLANATION!

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in. In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
