Cream Cake Dessert

I don't usually brag, not because I'm above that but because I'm usually not good enough at anything to drag about, but I have found something I AM good enough at to brag about...
BAKING!!!
I RULE!! Today I decided to try a recipe from a Taste of Home magazine for Cream Cake Dessert. The cream frosting in the middle was even made from scratch!! That's right, I used the stove, a mixer, and apparently I did it just right because I made the cream frosting and the cake looks tasty (ignore the flour all over it in the picture...that was from flouring the dish it was cooked in).

I couldn't believe I cut the cake in half and it wasn't totally crooked!!
It's not as easy to move half a cake on to its base as you'd think...I almost lost this one but managed!!

Here are some pics of the delightful dessert....I had to put it in the fridge before I tried to cut it, it was too soft to cut up at room temperature - and here in heatville we can't leave anything moist out on the counter, it gets too hot and everything grows mold (yummy, I know).
This picture in particular is for Grandpa...I think he would approve of the frosting to cake ratio represented here!!!

Keep in mind that once this is cut up into bite-size pieces you won't see the frosting smudged on the edge and the messiness...they will look cute and delicious!!

What should I try next???

you are my new hero.

If I lived closer, I'd be on your doorstep right now with plate and fork in hand waiting to try it. :)
