I love your beauty shot; your meringue is so pretty pink. I am a big fan of Rose's sour cream butter cakes myself. I've never tried the chestnut cake, but now you've got me intrigued!

OMG it looks so good, and I love the color of your meringue. As always, I enjoy your tutorial

What a little beauty! One eats with their eyes first, right? Your meringue is gorgeous set against the cake. Maybe I'll make it, after all.

Hi Kim! Yes, I have that oven mittens from Ikea! My favorite and it's all torn now...but I'm still using them. They don't carry new ones anymore! Do they still over there? ya, i like more cake.. this cake seems too little.

Love the beauty shot. Adding the orange oil seems to be a nice touch too. At least your cranberries looked redder than mine. Kind of disappointed on this cake.

Your meringue and cake looks gorgeous together! Love that shot! Wow, and your cranberries look very vivid red! So pretty!

Sure is gorgeous. You got the meringue a really nice pink. It's funny how cranberries are so ingrained for cold weather eating. The one thing that seems truly seasonal.
