I don't NORMALLY enjoy cake, but poke cake is a DIFFERENT story, I love that is cold and FLAVORFUL. This one is so fun for 4th of July. Kristina

I always love a good poke cake, and this one is so fun for July 4th! I had my daughter help me, and she loved poking the holes in the cake, and of course adding the sprinkles. I think she’ll be requesting it all summer long. 🙂 Kara
