Personal Notes:
This is a blast to make with your family. Get everyone involved with different people responsible for different layers. My Mom (Aunt Merle) learned a variation of this recipe many years ago and has modified and made it into a family favorite. She absolutely loved to cook, especially for family and friends and received much joy from sharing this with others. She would be truly touched to know we are still enjoying her favorite recipes. We love you Mom
