August 22 Pecan Torte Day

Each year on August 22 pecan lovers across the country celebrate Pecan Torte Day. First, tortes originated in Europe, and are a type of cake, but they differ from the traditional cakes that we know here in America.
Cakes are typically assembled with some type of frosting between the layers and then simply frosted on the top and sides. Tortes are usually frosted between the layers with rich buttercreams, mousses, and jams.

A torte is a rich dessert that can be filled with whipped cream, buttercream, mousse, jam, fruits or nuts. Most often, the cooled torte is glazed and garnished. Tortes are normally made with little to no flour, instead using ground nuts or breadcrumbs, along with sugar, eggs and flavorings.
