They look good Mandi, are the kids accepting of these new low fat sugar and fat recipes you are making

[Amy :-)]

The only experience I have had with rock cakes was when I was about 7 years old and tried them at a school bake sale. To this day I have not eaten a drier, harder or more unpleasant cake than those rock cakes, and I have never been brave enough to try another rock cake, or even attempt to make my own.

But that photo is very tempting Mandi... your recipe may give me a whole new perspective on rock cakes when I make them

I honestly believed that for years after those dreaded rock cakes. I thought they were meant to be like rocks, and that was why they were called rock cakes. Whenever I saw them I wondered why anyone would make something that was meant to be horrible! Lol
