Cinnamon Graham Cracker Cake

Graham crackers have been one of my most FAVORITE snacks since I was a little girl! So imagine how excited I was one I came across this recipe!! I am usually not a cake fan, but with homemade cream cheese frosting...how can you go wrong?! It was a hit here at home, as well as at my husbands office (whenever I make desserts and there is alot, I send them with him to work. Otherwise, I will probably polish it off...sigh).
