Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This was my mother in law Jeannette Bowes' recipe. She had her own catering company in Osterville while raising 5 children and living in and running the Spruce Tree Lodge.

This cake was made with love every time whether it be for a funeral, a birthday, a new baby, a new neighbor or any holiday, especially Christmas.

She is with me each and every time I break open that box.
