Texas Sheet Cake

 I made this delicious dessert this week as a test round for a friends birthday next week.  I was worried because I didn't know how we would ever get rid of all of them before I had to make them again.  Well... needless to say, with the help of friends, we were able to clear the large pan in only 2 days.  Another thing that I did to some of them was put some birthday sprinkles to see if it would turn out.  They were delicious still but I would recommend that if you want to out sprinkles on, do it immediately after you ice the cake because once it dries, the sprinkles won't stick! I hope you enjoy these yummy treats!
