I made this cake and took it to a Ladies Tea at Church. Everyone Loved it and our pastor mentioned it today during the announcements. (He singled this one out and there were about 30 cakes there) He only got to eat the crumbs left on the plate. This is a cake I will make over and over. Loved it!!
Thanks for the post.
