Texas White Sheet Cake

From Kansas! Magazine Fall 2002

Dear Editor,
My favorite desert is Texas White Sheet Cake from the Neon 57 in Fowler, Kan. This is just one of the many delicious desserts that they serve. We think that this would be a good recipe to put in your magazine.

Thanks!

Lynne Zortman, owner of Neon 57, is happy to oblige. In addition to the Texas White Sheet Cake, Zortman also makes from scratch a black raspberry sour cream pie with black raspberries from her garden; homemade cream puffs; Snicker cake; and peanut butter cream pie. You can also order a variety of sandwiches on homemade bread and a southern fried chicken salad. Her cheesy enchiladas are a favorite special that pack the place at lunch time.

The Neon 57 sandwich and gift shop is at 102 E. 5th Street, Fowler. The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Stop in and ask to sit at the booth made out of a '57 Chevy!
