My entire family devoured this cake. When prices continue to climb you have to do what you can to cut prices down. Making your family a cake is a labor of love and a great savings. The last cake we bought was almost $65 for a delicious bakery cake. But this cake was less than $5 and just as delicious. You can change it by making a 7 minute frosting if you don’t love the canned frosting. Or maybe even try a buttercream or an Oreo frosting. Either way you can’t go wrong with this delicious cake.
