Today’s recipe comes to us from SZ, a longtime Graveyard Shift reader and contributor.

Suzanne (AKA SZ, Su Su) was born and raised in Orange County, Ca, now pleasantly living in San Francisco twelve years. When not writing service at dealerships, she also enjoys writing on the computer, while walking in the city, on napkins and coasters or in my head.

SZ had this to say about her recipe. “This con”cop”tion is a favorite and it’s here just in crime for Presidents Day. They make fun cop cakes as well, and they’re moist, not cruminal. Where the the corny words are coming from is beyond my apprehension. You may have to call the grammar police!
