  Judy Halligan Willingham I was just informed that Wolf's Bakery in Evergreen Park sells this cake (or a version of it). I think I might have to make a trip to Chicago very soon! Whenever I was expected for a visit, my Aunt Jinny would buy a Wolf's coffee cake for breakfast and County Fair bakery bread, veal bologna and Jay's Potato Chips for lunch. Dinner was her own fabulous Chop Suey. If I can't have that, a Dressel's cake MIGHT ease the pain.

  John Wason Why not just fly to Paris and get some French pastry,Judy?
