Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Dad (Grandpa Dick Bowald) LOVED this cake and requested Mom (Grandma Mardell) to make it often.
She would often take this to a picnic gathering or potluck meal! It would disappear quickly! In my opinion, a perfect partner to a tall ice cold glass of milk! Life is good!!!
