This is one of my all time favorite cakes. The icing is killer! I made this the night that we hosted Annise, Kathy and Lane at our house. That was truly a fun night shared with all of our holiday decorations about our house. I also made this for Frank, Tricia and Ethan's New Years Eve party 2008. I was frustrated because I couldn't attend;---I had to work. As I understand it was devoured. I made it again for Saturday night church at our house in early January. The point is this is a REAL CROWD pleaser...and it's easy to do...so do it!
