Very quick and very easy. Just remeber to seal off the ends of your pastry or else you're going to have jelly everywhere.

I thought that this was very easy and flavorful! The cream cheese (I used low fat Neufchatel) is a very nice addition to the crust and it came out nice and flaky. The almond icing adds a lot of flavor but make sure to get the good almond extract. I made the braid the night before, refrigerated it, and baked it off in the morning. It came out perfect and all of the kids loved it!

Packaged baking mix would be something like "Bisquick" -- a baking mix with multiple ingredients in it.

This looks absolutely delicious, and I'd love to make it. But what on earth is "packaged baking mix"? Is it just like a basic pastry dough mix, cake mix, what is it?

Very good, easy, and quick recipe. I used apricot jam instead of raspberry and it was delicious. I also tried it with cherry pie filling and sprinkled almonds on top of the glaze. The almond extract and cherry flavors compliment each other nicely.
