Daisy Cake - K

Submitted by Nana Lee

"This is so beautiful when put together. It looks like a big daisy! Not as difficult as it sounds. Just read the directions on how to assemble and see how simple it really is. Great for a thank you gift, Mothers' day, Easter! The ingredients for the cake mix depend on the brand you use. I put in the ingredients because they wouldn' let me publish recipe without them."
