Texas Sheet Cake
Back in October, we traveled to Clearwater to attend my niece’s first birthday party. My sister-in-law’s aunt Gladys brought her Texas Sheet Cake. It was amazing and I was lucky enough to get the recipe from her. I still haven’t made it because I’m a lazy fool (only legitimate excuse I can come up with right now). This cake is worth the effort!

That little angel looks like an extremely cute Dr. Seuss character. Can I have her?
