I am always impressed with Sandra Lee's recipe for, "Ambrosia Cake". She performs mini-miracles every time she submits delicious variations upon a store bought cake! My Mom is gone now, but her favorite cake was "Angel Food'. This cake would have had her making portions for my Son. He truly loved Her cooking. When the Family arrived at His house, They brought menu items to share. He had called Them in advance, and They were all planning to make it a true Family Event! I sincerely hope you Folks can come together for Thanksgiving this year, and take several Food Network Recipes to make the meal a true celebration! Enjoy!!! :-
