It’s June and that means families will be celebrating now and throughout the summer. It seems like there’s a party for every activity – last day at school, kids with summer birthdays, last ballet class, last baseball practice and more.
Plus, Father’s Day deserves to be celebrated in style and then there is a summer of outdoor picnics and gatherings.
This recipe can be used with your favorite cake and frosting recipe or choice of boxed cake. The crumbles take it to a new level that make any dessert a real celebration.
