BIRTHDAY BLOCKS
Cream cheese is the secret ingredient in this simple pound cake recipe. It makes the cake firm for cutting-and easy to frost, too. This cake can be baked ahead and frozen, then thawed before the party and decorated, leaving you with plenty of time for other preparations. - Ethel Ledbetter, Canton, North Carolina
