Back in NJ the oldest would usually want the "Seven Layer Caramel Cake" from Caroline's Cakes...she discovered this when my brother (who used to live in Maryland) sent us one time.
For my birthday she had made a German Chocolate Cake (made from a mix bought from the Air Force base PX as evidently German Chocolate Cake doesn't really exist in Germany)...she said that would count as her cake too...but I said you need to also have something on your birthday so she said she would like Brownies (Betty Crocker from our local Rewe supermarket w/ the little American section). They came out a little flat (okay alot flat) so she used some icing to make little brownie sandwiches.

Neat sunset viewed from our back patio.

The 'German' in German Chocolate Cake has nothing to do with Germany, but was named for the person it was originally concocted for.
How did you get on the USAF base? We've been told you need to know someone in the military. Bob's dying to go shopping at the PX.
My girls were visiting their cousin up in Trier who is in the USAF...unfortunately he just moved back to the U.S. so that was our one and only shot at the PX (the girls also got Aunt Jemima syrup).
