Personal Notes:
This cake is one that Elizabeth often made as a Christmas gift for friends. She would have me cut a large square out of cardboard and cover it with aluminum foil, put the cake on it, place a few springs of fresh or silk holly in the center "hole" of the cake, and cover it with clear plastic wrap. Beautiful to look at, delicious to eat!
