i just looked through picks, that one IS taller than most. Though biszkopt is notorious for using tons of eggs
you're too nice to the kids... i had granny's cakes at 3, I turned out fine ^_^
(in all honesty, unless you're like granny and accidentally spill a good 1/4 bottle onto the thing, the alcohol won't be noticeable, nor will it actually make you drunk/tipsy

Though if you're gonna market them, yeah, might have to think of alternatives (or sell a few specifically as 'spiked cakes' or somesuch to grownups only?)

edit: Here is the url for the recipe the pic came from (claims 7cm)...
uwielbiam.pl/przepisy/przegladanie/biszkopt-tradycyjny.html

hopefully you know enough polish to read the ingredients n' stuff (oddly this one uses less eggs than the ones granny makes. Hers use at least 6 for a good sized cake)

biszkopt is just cake. Think poundcake or any other doughy filler between frosting in store-bought stuff. really not a big deal.
in PL you just add some good stuff to it to get rid of the dryness ^_^

Maybe they used a slightly smaller pan? Ours was a 9.5 inches. Smaller pan would make it taller...

those are biszkopciki
(it's the cake vs cookie difference)
google biszkopt (i know googling biszkopty gets you biszkopciki, as those are the 'little cakes' )

What kind of alcohol would you use for Wuzetka? I have a box mix and it just says alcohol (mixed with water).
