TERRE HAUTE — I’m on the Burnsides Nursing Home Guild. We used to take some of the residents up to Paris, Ill., to meet with other patients and we always took dessert and drinks.
After an afternoon of games, we had a good fellowship time with dessert. We took this cake a lot. They really enjoyed it. It is a very easy and good cake. I revamped the frosting by adding pineapple.
