SINK YOUR HOUNDSTOOTH PEARLY'S INTO SPLURGE WORTHY SHEETS

Sheet cakes are the ultimate answer to feeding sugar junkies, like myself with ease. Without a whole lot of effort, you can quickly whip one up and have plenty of square footage to declare your celebration on top.

No piping? No problem. Simply shake some spirit sprinkles on top.

What's the secret ingredient between the sheets? A layer of miniature marshmallows. Forget to pick some up? Not a deal breaker, just simply omit and prepare as directed. It will be equally fabulous.

(Made with my favorite crimson & white beverage!)

(Not a bad treat for Sunday lunch. Just add milk.)
ENJOY!

KEEPING IT REAL

Hello everybody. I'm an Alabama Crimson Tide football fan who loves good food whether packing for a tailgate or preparing meals for my uber fan husband, Marrow. Our children: Oscar age 5+, a former rock-eating black lab who has grown into an ultra sweet pup; Gilbert age...9-ish, a gray and black striped tabby cat with a moody, teenager-like attitude, and the newest member of the family, Cledus T., age 1+. He comes to us via Woodstock, Alabama, about halfway between here and yonder (Birmingham and Tuscaloosa--Cledus makes me think a little more country rather than rock 'n roll). With a daddy named Bama and a mama named Belle, let's just say it was meant to be. Anyhoo, he's quite the mouthy little whipper snapper of a bloodhound. Me and my family live in a work-in-progress cottage in the suburban South and we're season ticket holders to the greatest football team of all time. Roll Tide, my friends!
