This week was my mother's birthday, and so I needed a good birthday cake recipe!  So, the orange cream cake was born!! :D

My mom has been a Lyme warrior practically her entire life, and we have fought the Lyme battle side by side for many years now.  My mother is a beautiful and incredible woman, and so I wanted a cake that was just as beautiful and amazing as her!
