Wow, the cake and icing recipes both look great! I really should move to from scratch rather than boxed cake mixes.Pls tell your dd that she has inspired me!
My son's bday is this week and since I have a boxed mix purchased already, I'll use it this time...but the next time I need a cake for an occasion, I'll try this one!
Thank you for sharing and thank your dd for her hard work in outlining all the ing and for the pics too!

TTYS!

Oh Yummy-O! Time for me to break out the recipe books again. My son loves vanilla, so of course I added your daughter's recipes to my box for his birthday in Jan. However, this month is my middle daughter's birthday and she wants something "low key, not too sweet, not chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry..." Hrm... LOL she's my interesting one ;-)

You DD did a wonderful job!
