Sugar Cookie Cake

I have been making this Sugar Cookie Cake for awhile now.  Well, during quarantine.  It seems like it has been longer than a few months.  

I found this recipe here.  The fun thing about this recipe is that you can customize it to the holiday.  For example, use white frosting and decorate with red and blue sprinkles for Memorial Day or Fourth of July.  Red and pink sprinkles for Valentines Day.  

If you are a sugar cookie fan like me, you will definitely enjoy this cake.  Oh, and with all of the easy ways to customize it to a holiday, it's a great, easy cake to bring with you to your next family gathering.

Here's the recipe:
