Notes: Fran, Kay and I made this one time at Fran's house. We each took a section to make and we were all over the kitchen and in each other's way, but this dessert was beautiful and absolutely delicious. (Despite the fact I left out a couple of ingredients in my part). I don't think I would ever make this cake alone; it's too involved and it would not be near as much fun.
