Texas Sheet Cake

I suppose it can't be all rainbows and unicorns all the time. It has been a hard with with a stomach bug that is being passed from one child to the next to my computer breaking and because it broke before I could back it up just my luck the computer company without my permission deleted all my hard drive. Thankfully most of my pictures were backed up, but some computer files to support my Lightroom package were not and I am still working on getting those back from the supplier. Then my almost 5 year old Avery decided to cut her hair giving herself a mullet. Thankfully the hair dresser was able to pull some hair forward and sweep it to the side along with bringing up the sides and it looks much better. Thus the idea of making a Texas Sheet Cake came into view as a way to make life just a little sweeter when it sure does seem like everything is going wrong. I have never actually made one, but boy are the super easy.
