This rocks! I made this last year for Chrissy (Australia) and my brother and I were fighting over the last spoonful! I am making it for the in-laws Christmas this year and know it will be another hit! Too yummy to stop at one bowl! I also froze the cake and cut it semi-frozen as I found it easier to work with

About me....well...let's see,right now I am a married, stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful children, a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son....they are the "lights" of my life, which I think I pretty much spent waiting for them! I feel so very lucky (and truly blessed) to be their "Mommy".
I don't know that I have a fave cookbook, (and I have rarely opened one of the many I have, since finding Zaar.) I just LOVE recipes and have been "acquiring" them since I was a teenager! Actually I think I bought my first cookbook in like grade two or three, a cookie recipe book from one of those scholastic book orders!
