This sinfully easy

four-layer torte holds the

surprisingly light and sweet taste

of blackberries. The secret? It's made

from a purchased mix and the blackberry

puree is fresh berries blended with jam.

Top the cake with icing and make-ahead

pink-and-white chocolate curls (see page

113 for instructions). For extra sparkle, spell

out holiday sentiments with letter charms

and dangle them from your

serving platter.
