Depends on if I am solo or have G. along. By myself I tend to go 16 hours or
so. With Georgia, we go until her wonky back kicks up its heels and says we
need to stop for the day.

Did better than that as there was no chance of getting any data off of it. I
removed the electronics (circuit board, plugs, etc.) and gave it to a sculptor
I know who immediately put it into his crucible and used it as part of the
metal for a cast he was doing.

  This very old recipe is famous for the artistic,
  decorative sculpture arranged on top. The picture in
  the cookbook has the upper outer edge circled with a
  braid of dough and cutouts of ducks arranged flat on
  the top.
  
  Prepare Cheese Filling; set aside. In a small bowl,
  dissolve yeast and 1 Tbsp sugar in 1/4 cup warm water.
  Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  
  Place 1 cup sugar, butter or margarine and eggs in
  large bowl. Beat until pale and fluffy. Add yeast
  mixture, 1 pint milk, 2 cups flour and salt.
  
  Beat until well blended. Stir in enough remaining
  flour to make a soft dough. Turn out dough on a
  lightly floured surface.  Clean and grease bowl.
  Knead dough until smooth and elastic. Place dough in
  greased bowl, turning to coat all sides.
  
  Cover with a clean damp cloth;let rise in a warm
  place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk.
  Preheat oven to 350øF. Grease side and bottom of a 10
  inch spring-form pan. Divide dough into thirds.  Using
  your hands, gently press 1/3 of dough evenly over
  bottom and side of pan. Evenly spread Cheese Filling
  over dough lined pan. On a lightly floured surface,
  roll out another 1/3 of dough to a 10 inch circle.
  Place over Cheese Filling. Gently pat with your hands.

  Using a pastry brush, lightly brush milk over top of
  dough.

  Cut remaining 1/3 dough in 4 even pieces. Shape 3 pieces
  into long ropes.  Braid ropes; apply to outer edge of cake.

  Using remaining dough, cut desired figures with various
  cutters of form shapes with your hands. Arrange figures
  on top of dough as desired. Lightly brush with milk.

  Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown.

  Cool cake in pan 5 minutes on a rack.

  Remove pan side; cool completely on rack.

  Makes 1 (10 inch) cake.
  
  Cheese Filling: With a grinder or food processor,
  process cheese. Do not puree or over process.

  Place egg yolks, sugar and Vanilla Sugar in a large bowl.
  Beat until pale and creamy, at least 10 minutes.

  Add ground cheese, a little at a time, while beating.
  Beat until smooth.
