Wow, was this delicious Lazyme. The french toast was superb, light, tender, fluffy and delicious. The cream cheese filling was amazing and took this treat to another level. I didn't use Grand Marnier as I had it for breakfast, but it was lovely with the orange juice. The sauce which was buttery with a slight citrus flavor encased the fresh strawberries perfectly. It was thick, smooth and silky. Thank you for sharing a treat that I will make again, can't wait to try it with the Grand Marnier. Made for Spring Pac Safari 2013
