My Festive Cherry torte was claimed by a gentleman at my table while I was photographing it. This is a beautiful dish that perfectly looks like Christmas! The flavor is delicious and tastes like it was much more difficult to make than it was (that will be our little secret). It was the first dish to disappear.
