    I am getting too fat on your good food. How about some desserts with Splenda or sugar substitutes?

    do you need to cool the cake before frosting? It says to et the frosting sit 10-12 mins before putting on the cake.

      Absolutely not ~ it soaks into the cake when it’s warm and it’s scrumptious!
