    Well I surely hope that the cake goes over well but I'm also hoping that Santa comes through with chocolate orange also! Thanks for the five, nym.

    I love chocolate and orange and always want one of the neat little chocolate orange candies in my stocking. Alac and Alas, Santa never delivers. But this cheesecake would certainly be an entertaining showstopper. We're doing a dessert buffet this year. This must be on the table.
