Taking a break to make a cake!

I came to the realization that I don't have to post photos with EVERY post so I thought I could mix things up by sharing a great summer recipe I got from a friend. She didn't give me a name for it, so if you want to make up a name for it and yours is chosen, you will receive a FREE 8x10 at your next session! Just click on the Comments link at the bottom of this post.

First Step:
1 Yellow cake mix (not the "pudding" cake mix)
Add: 4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 small can Mandarin oranges w/ juice
Beat all together and put in greased 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Let cool.

Second step:
Blend the following-
1 8 oz. Regular (not Light or fat free) Cool Whip
1 large package instant vanilla pudding
1 can crushed pineapple w/ juice
Frost cake with Cool Whip mixture and cover. Will keep in fridge for 1 week (but you'll probably eat it all before then!)
