World's BEST Yellow Cake...It's Not Bragging if it's True!

I just enjoyed some of this scrumptious cake this weekend.  I forget how delicious it is. It probably takes five minutes to assemble and doesn't require a mixer.  You'll never be tempted to use a mix after you taste this.

Ginger is wearing this gorgeous gown for the Hip Chic's Valentine's Ball. After appearing on the arm of Tyler Rathbone for the last month, the designers are literally begging her to wear their fashions.  This lovely silk dress and matching evening purse was the ultimate winner.  At this rate, she'll need another closet...and who doesn't?
