Excellent Cake!

This cake was very easy to make and tasted amazing! Though I did not add as much sugar as the receipe called for the frosting. Still very good..

Pumpkin Spice Cake

I love this cake! I have made it a couple of times now and someone always wants the recipe. We like a little more cream cheese flavor so I cut back on the sugar a little and add some extra cream cheese..

Anniversary delight

I made this cake for my in-laws anniversary and they loved it. It was a hit with everyone. I did not use the ghost decorations, but the cake and cream cheese frosting were wonderful!.
