That sounds WONDERFUL! Especially if the frosting is right. Homemade is the only way to go. Never had any in a restaurant that didn't suck.

I am most definitely living proof that there is always room for more because it takes me forever to get full. Sadly I am not one of them people who is full after just one plate of food. If a person could live to tell about eating furniture, the chair and sofa in my house would've disappeared without a trace left behind a long time ago.

God bless you always!!!
