This week, I made Granny's sheath cake recipe for my birthday cake. Yes, I know it sounds sad that I make my own birthday cake, but I started this last year and loved it. I love to cook, and my birthday cake gives me a great opportunity to make pick out just the recipe. This recipe is only in the cookbook and not on Southern Plate website.



Brandon and I ate a slice of this cake about an hour after I made it, and it was good. Then we had another piece several hours later and it was GREAT! If you are planning on making this cake for a function, I would definitely suggest that you make it the morning of or the night before the event. I guess the icing and the cake just need some time to get to know each other.
