31. My notes: This was absolutely wonderful, however next time I am going to start with a boxed angel food cake mix.
32. Also I had to let the chocolate set more than 15 min before I could cut it, I guess my house was too hot.
33. and now which soda pop no longer comes in bottles and funnels are mostly plastice, I had a very hard time finding somewhere to invert the cake, finally I just used the full amaretto bottle.
