VANILLA WAFER CAKE.....SOMEBODY LOVES YOU!

It was one week of summer vacation. Time to visit the grandparent's and spend the day swimming, eating, being lazy and making, what I now know, "selfies" on Instagram! My how things have changed since we were teens! Whoa! Hold on there Abbie and Amelia.....Grandma is going to spend the afternoon teaching the two of you how to bake a good ole' fashioned southern favorite.....Vanilla Wafer Cake! I believe this turned into a fun baking lesson for these two "best friends forever! "
