This looks yummy. I worked at a preschool that had a hickory nut tree. The squirrles used to bomb us with them.

That's hilarious morninlite! I used to live right on the ocean where the seagulls would bomb us with fish guts! But back to Jett's cake, it sound really, really good! My hubby would love that icing!

I have one question. Where do you find hickory nuts? I haven't seen these in years. I loved them. They were about as hard to shell as walnuts but not as messy. Have you found them shelled in the stores?
