These I adapted from a recipe I found on www.bakersroyale.com. They have chopped Andes mints in the cake batter and a delicious minty/creme de mint buttercream frosting. :) I do think I'd like to make an adaptation of these with Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies next year when they are available! Yum! :)
I grew up in a small town and am lucky enough to have two amazing grandmas and a wonderful mom in my family who taught me how to bake. My mom had a cake baking/decorating business when I was growing up so that is what fueled my interest in cakes...birthday cakes, wedding cakes, cupcakes ... you name it - I love them!
