Summer's Cake!
This is a beautiful tropical cake just in time for the warm weather! Just like the beautiful woman I know who has inspired me in so many ways. I believe people come into our lives for a reason, even when we least expect it. She has inspired me to sparkle in all that I do..especially my baking! This cake is dedicated to her because she reminds me of a tropical oasis and has crystal blue eyes of the sea. If you are ready for a tropical retreat in your mouth..please try this recipe!
