Recipe Introduction


My friend brought this over last week for our Canasta Party. She was the State Fair Grand Champion in Baking for years and you know if she bakes it - it has got to be out of this world. She made up the filling and it just makes the cake. This cake will WOW anyone! It sounds like a lot of trouble, but it's really pretty easy.
