The sheet cake is from Williams-Sonoma cakes book, the filling is my own creativity. I have to admit that it was real hard work. If making for the first time, just double the cake Ingredients and use 2 baking sheets. Read more Best served on the same day. I have made this one 4 or 5 times and never failed to impress my guests.
