wow! what a novel idea of sandwiching cheese between pie crusts. hmmmmm [NT] - AngAk1 - 3:22pm on 01/25/16
Interesting! Where did the pie crust cheese sandwich idea come from? [NT] - cheezz - 5:08pm on 01/27/16

Frustration. I tend to use one sleeve and then forget about the other until it too dry to use. And - MarilynFL - 10:06am on 01/28/16

It sounds delicious but wanted to make sure you know you can - orchid - 12:03pm on 01/28/16
Ah! Well, it's ingenious. Orchid is right -- just have to seal out all the air. [NT] - cheezz - 6:52pm on 01/28/16

It does not leave your oven any messier than roasting the chicken in a roasting pan - KarenNoCA - 7:05pm on 01/26/16
I seem to recall that someone (maybe Sally) did this - cyalexa2 - 2:21pm on 01/28/16

28416. Going to make a Bee Sting cake but not sure which is the better recipe - oli - 11:05am on 01/26/16 (15)

oli, the recipe I posted is a coffee cake with a Bee Sting Glaze not the real thing..... [NT] [LINK] - GayR - 11:16am on 01/26/16

Good to know, that's one of the reason I posted the question so I wouldn't make a mistake [NT] - oli - 4:54pm on 01/26/16

Never made it, but to add another, King Arthur worked through one. I like their methodology. [LINK] - MarilynFL - 1:12pm on 01/26/16

I am concerned about cutting into the cake and not squish out the pastry cream. [NT] - oli - 3:28pm on 01/30/16

You need to use a serrated knife to do this. - Charley - 3:57pm on 01/31/16
Use the tip of cutting the top layer in wedges before placing it on top [NT] - AngAk1 - 6:33pm on 01/31/16
