Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Mom would make this cake
for the CFM (Catholic Family Movement) meetings
when they were at our house. We always wondered
why she didn't make it for us.. Of course the CFM group
also got the good non-parelle candies too. But
we figured out how to get some of THEM out of the box
without really opening it up.
