Personal Notes:
These cakes were first found in Southern Living magazine by Fran Donlon. Knowing the FitzPatrick love for mayonnaise, she always made them for me. I brought this recipe to Chestertown in the late 90's. It was an instant hit and has continued to get rave reviews every year since then.
