What a pretty dessert and one that even Mr. Maple can have. By the way, he still talks about the biscotti you sent him!
I can't wait to get an update on the baby!
YOUR photography is outstanding! It stirs the taste buds to where I wanted to lick my computer screen. So that is how they do that half and half design. Will have to try this one soon.
GASP - They are STUNNING!!!!!! Bravo to you, my dear. Gorgeous!

I have lots of jello packets in my pantry but I have to admit I almost never make it. But your photos look so beautiful that I think I am going to make this one. I love that you included ways to make it lower in calories. I need to watch that. Thank you for sharing it.
