The cake was really hard to make--lots of ingredients and steps, but soooo delish. I served it for my hubby's B-day and everyone had to have two pieces each. Excellent cake for a special day.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"03\/02\/2012 18:17","GUID":"fb68b3470de04d3bb7c35ace3e47f254","MemberId":6219199,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"scrazypat","SubmittedDate":"03\/02\/2012 18:17"},{"Comment":"
I took this cake to a church social where they used the cakes as center pieces. Mine was definitely not the prettiest, but this cake was the only one that was completely gone. People came from every other table for a slice of this cake. It was a big hit. It wasn't the easiest cake I have ever made, but it was probably the best<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"03\/15\/2011 12:27","GUID":"f9bba5e8bcdc498f96da196e991f1b05","MemberId":3498860,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mamabaer__62","SubmittedDate":"03\/15\/2011 12:27"},{"Comment":"
The filling is like a lemon meringue pie filling, just orange instead. The yolks work a binder in the filling. They need to be tempered which is why you add some of the filling first to temper it and cook them. So that they don't look like scrambled eggs in the filling. Do you not like eggs? I'm happy you liked the cake!!! :)<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"02\/10\/2011 17:14","GUID":"0f212d6b5e8b465788f4275b5089bcf0","MemberId":1921629,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"daisymay32","SubmittedDate":"02\/25\/2011 00:14"},{"Comment":"
I loved the \"cake\" part of this recipe. I actually ate it without all the filling. I did make the filling and got physically sick to my stomach when I was making the egg yolks. The cake looked as though it was an orange filling, not egg yolk. I just couldn't eat it. But the plain cake.........delicious!!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"02\/23\/2011 10:18","GUID":"5619479e393f46378e1057fffc90f913","MemberId":4971664,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"eatabooger","SubmittedDate":"02\/23\/2011 10:18"},{"Comment":"

My Grandmother made several recipes when I was growing up that I now see in some of Paula Deen's and other famous cookbooks. My Grandmother made these recipes years before any of these were published. So Amanda don't let negative posters bother you. No one person can say they made a recipe that no one else in the world has made or has made a version of, that's where great recipes come from, change a few ingredients and make it your own. Keep up the good work, look forward to reading your blog.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"02\/11\/2011 09:53","GUID":"ba723efb76d0467ebd39c530f2662a9b","MemberId":3060496,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"jennfindley","SubmittedDate":"02\/11\/2011 09:53"},{"Comment":"
Hello all I am the one who sent TOH this recipe. I did win Best in Show at the Western Idaho State Fair. On my blog I always give credit to the person that I got the recipe from. I sent this recipe into TOH several years ago when, I sent them information about the cake charity I work with. (You can see the link on my blog). I never said it was MY recipe, just a WINNING recipe!!!<\/p>

I agree on the negative posts. I bet there is not a recipe out there that I do not have somewhere in a book, but I do not page through book after book anymore. I like it when people post success stories. Review the recipe, not the posters...tho I am doing that right now...and then I am going to head for the kitchen and try this one..DH will love it.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"02\/08\/2011 12:43","GUID":"d59a89255d4e4b6b9fce6273f5b6f121","MemberId":1718596,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"kathidahl","SubmittedDate":"02\/08\/2011 12:43"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"02\/08\/2011 07:04","GUID":"0ddc74873f3146679ae91a975d5983b5","MemberId":5730607,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sumallory","SubmittedDate":"02\/08\/2011 07:04"},{"Comment":"

i don't care if a recipe is original or not as long as it is good...if you make a cake most of them have sugar and flour,eggs oil or butter. i don't think many people could make a cake that hasn't been made before. i am just happy to get new recipes. thank you amanda for posting this.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"02\/07\/2011 14:11","GUID":"b34a6cfe16ac4afcb7312d8933e8fdb4","MemberId":1277655,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"fayerah","SubmittedDate":"02\/07\/2011 14:11"},{"Comment":"
What the devil difference is it where a recipe might have come from at it's origin. Either make it & tell what you think of it or if your only premise is to ridicule the posters, I think we can all pass on that. I love the recipes & all of the constructive comments. I have not made this but it sounds wonderful.

Doesn't seem quite right or fair for someone to take a recipe from a published book and just change one item to make it their \"own.\" That's the only reason I wouldn't make this cake again, as good as it is.<\/p>","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"02\/07\/2011 11:51","GUID":"B0869D9DA87D4314B8AC72A325224D7D","MemberId":1135775,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"SMQMC","SubmittedDate":"02\/07\/2011 11:51"},{"Comment":"
