A favorite of family and friends. I make individual bit size cakes for parties and it is one of the first trays to empty.

This is an EXCELLENT appetizer and very easy to make. I've made it a number of times for work and for women's events. It's very classy and generates alot of discussion for its uniqueness. Serve on a cake plate with spicy cocktail sauce on the side in a silver gravy bowl, and it looks like something from a high-end restaurant! I usually only make it when the number of guests are greater than 15 as it's pretty filling. But it's a wonderful dish and a fan favorite in my town.
