Almond Sour Cream Cake

A group of us here laughingly call Molly Stone “the Cake Bitch of Savannah, Georgia”! This girl knows what she’s doing; her wedding cakes are incredibly divine. They are moist and bursting with flavor. The only thing bigger and better than her cake is her personality. I love you, Molly.
