  2. Judy~ Thank you for mentioning us in your blog I really appreciate it! I also appreciate you visiting my blog and the nice comments you always leave. Your cake sounds like a cake that my mom used to make. We called hers Texas sheet cake. I bet they are both pretty similar. I hope you have a wondeful Valentine's Day full of love! ~Dan~
