I had such a great birthday weekend, but I’m worn out today! I decided to just do a simple cake for myself since we weren’t doing a party, but this one would be a crowd pleasure for sure. It’s easy to make ahead of time because it stays in the fridge. I made this Thursday and today is Monday and it’s not soggy and holding up great.
