Pig Picking Cake II
Claudia Hamilton
"Mandarin oranges in the cake and pineapple, pecans and coconut in the filling. From living down south and all the get-togethers for Pig Picking, this cake is a sure winner with people from the Southerners as well as the Northerners. This cake brings us all together."

This cake/dessert is fabulous! It also works well in a 9x13" pan for simplicity. It is also wonderful with a cou of choppe walnuts sprinkled over the top.
