Deviled Crab Cakes

One of my passions is cooking, so I enrolled in Culinary School and graduated about 1 1/2 year ago. I recently made this recipe for a gathering I had about 2 weeks ago. It was the hit of the party. Everyone continues to ask me for the recipe, so I wanted to share it with you all. Enjoy!
