I loved 1/2 of this recipe. I will make again; but, will change a few things. 5 stars for how easy the cake part was! Super easy. I rolled mine when it was cooled about 15 minutes. I added the food coloring & didn't like the look of the yellow-just personal preference. We all agreed the "creamy" part was really sweet. So next time, i'm going to cut back the icing sugar to 1/8 cup. I used the zest of 2 big lemons & think i'll add a squeeze of lemon juice next time. Also, i'm going to elminiate the ice cream topping. I'll spread out the "creamy" part & then toss on some blueberries/raspberries & roll. Parts of it (the ease, the presentation were 5 star worthy). I personally will tweak the "insides" & post how it turns out.

I am 27 years old and currently living in NC, but grew up in AZ and became a transplant to the South when I joined the military as an RN. I have traveled to more than 24 countries, all before I joined the military ironically enough...I started when I was 14 going on mission trips all over the world and have a passion to serve God and people. As one might assume after all my travels I love to try out new foods no matter how scary they sound. I recently got married (March 12, 2005) and am having fun trying out new recipes on my husband, who doesn't seem to mind at all!
