These have been favorites of our whole family for a while, especially the white. Thank you for giving me these recipes a few years back. In fact we made the white sheet cakes for Matt's graduation party in '10, his request. It's easy to make these for large group gatherings.
ReplyDeleteyou are so welcome. These are our favorites too. Cally has the people at the firehouse hooked on the peanut butter cake.
