    Just imagine a bunch of very thin layers all together, like a layer cake but the layers are many and thin. I will post a photo when I bake my next baum kuchen. Trying to dig up and get the recipe from my mom! if you search the Net, you will see many photos for this "king of Cakes. I don't like to dowenload other peoples photos unless I get permission or there is permission to share!

    Oh my, I bet this is beautiful. You'll have to post a picture (I work better with a photo to guide me). I'm definitely saving this one for a special occasion.
