Pool Party Cake

by Candace Sampson

I love baking….when it doesn’t have to look pretty. When I want something that looks pretty, I go to the experts. For example, when I want amazing decorated cookies, I use my friends business, A Couple of Squares. When I want cookies that taste delicious but don’t have to be all Martha perfect, I bake …
