Ms Patsy crafted my wedding cake and it was beautiful and delicious!  Several years later, I took cake decorating classes and guess who was my teacher.  These are her recipes and I am so thankful to have been taught by her.  What an amazing woman!!
This recipe makes an excellent wedding cake base or the simple dessert for a summer afternoon picnic with friends.  I sometimes add the "guts" of a vanilla bean that has been soaking in vodka.  You can change the exracts around and make this something totally different.
Ms. Patsy's Cream Cheese Pound Cake
