Orange Creamsicle Sheet Cake
My husband called me yesterday afternoon wondering if i went on an online shopping spree. I had ordered a bunch of dresses online in hopes of finding a cute one for an upcoming wedding. I planned on returning some of them, so the initial order was quite large. I live in the middle of nowhere, so going to the actual stores is over an hour drive.
Naturally with my luck ALL of my orders had to come on the same day…from UPS, USPS and FedEx. Oiy vey…
My husband said we might need to install traffic lights in our yard with all the deliveries i receive. Apparently I caused a bit of a traffic jam on the farm that day. Woops!
He couldn’t be too upset though, because this delicious Orange Creamsicle Sheet Cake was waiting in the refrigerator for his lunch. How can you be mad at a wife who makes you treats like these?! 😉
I saw this Key Lime Pie Sheet Cake from Lauren’s Latest recently and was immediately intrigued. I am more of an orange girl than key lime pie, so I put my own twist on it. It turned out fantastic and is really the perfect treat for a warm summer day.
