For the last 30 years Christmas is also a Birthday party for my brother-in-law. I always try to make a special Birthday cake for him and this year this will be the one! I love how festive this Jingle Bell Torte looks. He likes Red Velvet cake, so I wounder how good it will be? I'll have to see and get back to you! Thank you so much for sharing this Jingle-Bell-Torte recipe that I will be trying.

This will definitely be served for the holidays. Likely more than once, or twice, or three times. Looks like a keeper.

This certainly looks like a cake I am willing to come off of my diet to try, and that's saying a lot because I have already lost 62 pounds since april of this year and only have 18 more to go.

This is such a beautiful and easy to make cake for the Holidays. I just had one problem. My melted chocolate wouldn't drizzle. I put it on in clumps. I think the next time I'll just buy some hot fudge sauce and put it on just before serving.

I am so anxious to make this for the holidays, but I am having a heck of a time finding green marachino cherries! Where can I find them other then buying in bulk?
