Carol's Boston Cream Pie image

I actually used 3 recipes to make this cake . My family all love it and it is so easy to make and looks amazing when you serve it. I think the secret is in the filling . It is so so good I normally eat some of it like pudding.This filling is also great for Coconut Cream Pie and Banana cream Pie - and it would make great Cream...

Worst pie ever.

This pie was a disaster. The custard didn't set and the cake was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had some trouble with the custard. It was a little lumpy. But the cake turned out great. I think I'll try making it again with a different custard recipe.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The custard was very creamy and the cake was moist. I think I would have liked it better with a less sweet custard.

I'm not a huge fan of custard pies, but this one is really good. The custard is not too sweet and the cake is really moist. I also love the chocolate ganache on top. It's the perfect finishing touch.

This pie is a classic for a reason. It's so delicious and easy to make. I love the combination of the custard and the chocolate ganache. I always get compliments on it when I bring it to parties.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a hit. The custard is always smooth and creamy, and the cake is always moist and fluffy. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes great.

This pie was absolutely delicious! The custard was creamy and flavorful, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I loved the chocolate ganache on top, which added a rich and decadent touch. I will definitely be making this pie again!
