The crust was a bit dry and crumbly, but the filling was delicious. I think I might try using a different crust recipe next time.

The torte was dense and rich, but it lacked flavor. I added some extra spices and extracts to the filling, and it improved the taste significantly.

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. The crust was flaky and the filling was moist and flavorful. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
