Butterfinger Cake

Note:   Big Guy is going to turn 14 next week.  *sniff sniff*    He is going to be starting high school. *sob sob*   I just can't believe that my sweet boy is growing up so fast.     Each day with him is so precious to me.     He absolute favorite candy bar is a Butterfinger.   He can't eat them very often because of his stomach issues, but I am going to make this Butterfinger Cake as a special treat for his birthday.
