That sounds nice, Reci. What on earth does the name mean? Do you know?

Lowie a Brown Stone Front is the front of the home similar to a townhouse. This cake is a Southern Delicacy so I assumed it was passed on to Amish relatives. Also the Amish people refer to a Brown Stone Front as a room in the front of their homes where all the cooking and baking are done. I hope this helps
