  1. Wow! This cake was so good! I must admit that I tried it mainly because I LOVE anything to do with Anne of Green Gables and/or P.E.I.! Since I used it for an Easter cake, I didn't make the glaze, but instead made a fluffy frosting with instant sugar-free vanilla pudding and lite cool whip. I then added some grated orange peel to the frosting and decorated it with mandarine orange slices. It was beautiful and so delicious! I think next time I may add a little orange color to the batter or frosting or both! Thanks Marg for this great cake.
     
  2. Very tasty. The glaze per recipe was the consistancy of milk, so I added more powdered sugar until it was more like an icing. There was a lot more of it, but my family loved it this way.
     
  3. This cake is fantastic! It's fun to make, the glaze is so sweet and sticky and the consistency of the cake is phenominal. I put it out an hour ago and there are 4 people in my house and only i piece left!

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
