Reviews forStrawberry Cheesecake Torte
My Review

"I've made this cake several tiimes and it always gets rave reviews and requests to make it again. It is the perfect dessert on a warm summer day. It is much easier to make than what I thought it would be. With a little practice, the piped frosting even looked terrific. (I'm not very experienced with piping icing!) The suggestion of making it into a sheet cake is appealing and something I'd like to try."

"Very good!!!"
"I had this recipe at a baby shower and craved it for weeks after! I am going to make this recipe for my family next week. Thanks for posting it for us!!!!!!!!"
"This is soooo good! I used vanilla pudding mix (not cheesecake); took it to a ladies' group & received rave reviews as well as requests for the recipe. Very light dessert."
"My cake came out mis-shapen because of the parchment paper."
"This is an excellent dessert that I've made several times. The original recipe is from Pampered Chef in 2001. When I make it, I don't layer it...it's much easier and it serves twice as many people. Just follow the directions as is but do it as one layer. I always get rave reviews!"
"This yummy torte is so light and refreshing, it's like a taste of summer!"
