Ceil and Clarence Wahlforth of New Berlin celebrated their golden

wedding anniversary last Friday. In honor of the milestone, Ceil

dreamed up a pie concept with three symbolic

ingredients: "bittersweet chocolate, melted," sour cream

and "golden" caramel sauce. Lisa Crum of C. Adams Bakery developed

the concept into a recipe.
