Spring is in the air! Let me tell you, I am ready for the sunshine, flowers, and the birds singing. I actually went out today and started buying a few things for the kid’s Easter baskets.
Speaking of Easter, if you are looking for the perfect dessert for your Easter gathering, look no further. This is a recipe from my great grandmother. It is so refreshing (I think that is the right word), moist and delicious. You can see in the pictures that I am a big fan of the glaze. I add quite a bit to mine but feel free to add as much or as little as you like.
