I must find one and see what is involved.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-85524618877973172582015-05-18T22:58:26.390-04:002015-05-18T22:58:26.390-04:00How very interesting with the strawberry icing; it...How very interesting with the strawberry icing; its always fun to wonder where certain traditions came from, especially one that has been around in your family for so long.

Also the women in your family must have superpowers, because angel food cake is one of the most difficult and most fickle recipes I have ever made. Stepmom's family actually has a similar Christmas angel food cake recipe that used to make an appearance every year, made with spices and maple sugar icing. Your birthday cake sounds delicious.
