Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I had it for the first time the day before my wedding. After the rehearsal dinner we gathered at the hotel with all of the out of town relatives. Thelma and Elmer Seeds came from San Antonio. They were some of the sweetest people you would ever meet. Thelma had brought this cake and I loved it. I told her how much I liked it and she mailed the recipe to me.

Thelma Seeds was married to Mary Theresia Egger's first cousin Elmer "Red" Seeds.
