Dang, janie... Gotta try this. I'm a total cake hound... Not that I'm against glazes or frostings at all- but I'm gonna try it without the glaze first. To me to true test is "can this bundt be enjoyed in all it's moist richness even without a glaze?" My guess is this one can! YUM!

I havent tried this one but I thought It would go well in this thread.
I love chocolate and orange together.

janie-

Speaking of chocolate and orange together... have you ever tried those round sphere-shaped, chocolate oranges that are molded segments, shaped into an actual orange? One can buy them at Wal-Mart these days for like $3.00-$4.00 but a few years back when they first came out Williams-Sonoma carried them for $12.00 EACH! They are INCREDIBLE!
