I was not sure about how fine the graham crackers were suppose to be and since I didnt get an answer from the chef I finely ground them. Perhaps I should have coarsely ground them or just crumbled them because this made a very heavy dense cake. The taste was fine but I didnt care for the texture. Oh the topping was great.
