A conversation with a friend reminded me of this recipe my mother used to make. I think I'll try it, as we bid farewell to summer. If I remember right, it's on the sweet side, so may I reduce the amount of jello mixed with the cake. It's colorful, and children like it. The recipe on Cooks.com says it serves 20-25, but I don't think we found it went that far!
