mom's cake additions (and dad's, lol)

Mom always made the best cakes, and everyone loved them. There were a few additions to her cakes, which I am sharing here. Although the best cake we ever made was when my Dad baked a cake for her and let me help (she was very sick at the time). He was the first to add a splash of beer, and when I was shocked, he then said I could put anything in that I wanted, so of course a fist full of M&Ms were my choice. It was amazingly good, and since the beer cooked off, I could eat it (mom passed away when I was 7, this was for her birthday cake when I was 6).
