Pretty good, not great. Seemed a bit ordinary to me. It was also a pain trying to find ladyfingers. Had to go to three grocery stores.

This recipe is very good. You can make this torte with different berries and fruits. May be there is difficult to freeze it, because berries are very cold after refrigerator. And next time I would put berries in both of the layers and not just on top.

Although the ladyfingers were a challenge to stand up around the outside of the pan this dessert looked and tasted amazing. I will make this again when I want to impress my friends :)

WOW!! I've made this several times and always receive rave reviews on it. I do change slightly based on feedback from other reviewers..it's a very "forgiving" recipe though. I mash the frozen berries with a masher and cook them w/ the cornstarch. I also tore up the ladyfingers in small pieces to cover the bottom of the pan. I was afraid the filling would seep through otherwise.

Delicious,refreshing cake that's even better than strawberry shortcake! I used only fresh strawberries and omitted the sauce-I added a layer of sliced strawberries on the first layer of filling, and garnished with halved berries around the edge, and a few whole berries in the middle-Beautiful and an impressive presentation,too. This recipe works with other fruits,too!

this was DELICIOUS and soooo very easy to make. I dipped my lady fingers in dark chocolate, this helped them to stand up around the edge as well, as the chocolate was slightly tacky still. After I dipped them in the dark chocolate, I sprinkled each with a pinch of powdered sugar for color contrast. I cooked down strawberries for my sauce, and added a bit of sugar as well. I will definitely make this again, a great summery dessert!

I took this to a church potluck yesterday and came home with an empty container. I had fresh strawberries, so I pureed with a little sugar & water for about 2 cups. Put my springform ring directly on cake carrier and assembled onto the carrier, since you obviously could not move this off of the bottom of the springform! Used a layer of ladyfingers on the bottom, then cream layer, then strawberry puree layer, then repeated. It was so beautiful nobody could believe I made it, but it was the first dessert cut and the first one gone!

I saw the photo and fell in love with it- and used this recipe as inspiration for my mother's day cake. It's a beautiful creation when done, don't hesitate to try this out, or be like me- base your own recipe off it. ^_-

I made this recipe for Easter, and it was a big hit. Everyone commented on how light and refreshing it was. The only change I made was that I layered the strawberry sauce in the middle of the cake and then put sliced fresh strawberries on the top. I think it definitely needs two layers of berries. We will make this one again and again.

My guest and my family love this recipe. I make one change though, I don't use lady fingers but use crushed oreo cookies on the bottom and I placed sliced strawberries around the outside. This looks and tastes great!

Excellent! I've already made this a couple of times with fabulous results. Everybody who tasted it raved. One of my husband's co-workers declared it his favorite dessert; another one told him to give me a kiss for making it! I followed the directions, except mashed some extra strawberries in the filling and another layer of strawberry glaze in the middle as other reviewers suggested. Yay! I made it with store bought ladyfingers once and homemade ladyfingers the other time (recipe from this site) and I definitely thought the homemade version had better flavor, even though they didn't have as much volume. Thank you for the definite keeper!

I made this according to the recipe, and was a little disappointed by the taste. It looked beautiful, but if I were to make it again, I would definitely put strawberry in both of the layers and not just on top.

I give this 5 stars plus. I followed the directions exactly and everyone at the party LOVED it. I did need to use 3 packages of ladyfingers to make sure the bottom and middle layer was completely covered. I had several requests for this recipe! Will make it again!!
