I followed the recipe exactly and the french toast remained mush even after baking it for 2 hours, but the topping was very quite tasty.

This recipe is delicious. Who needs cinnamon rolls! My children LOVE this. I was worried that it was going to be sickly sweet. It isn't. It has become out special occassion breakfast. We like it with fruit salad and bacon or sausage. It is DELICIOUS.
