Hello! I found the recipe & notes for Fine Cakes. They look perfect for
my purpose. Thank you! Did you ever try them?
Thanks to everyone else for the suggestions of rice & beans, too. I have
always used rice in the past (no pun intended), but decided to follow the
recipe & see what would happen.
Regards,
Cindy
