Here is my go to box cake mix and frosting.
There are some box mixes that smell like playdough as you are eating them. Those are awful and I can see if you had one of those you might think box mixes are terrible.
My personal favorite is Betty Crocker Super Moist White.
The Cherry Chip is also well liked.
And the frosting - Duncan Hines Creamy Homestyle Classic Vanilla or Classic Chocolate. Note: We like sugary frosting over here! Also - very important (to me) leave the cake out uncovered - your frosting becomes dryer and you will get a little crisp with each bite. I like to make my cakes and cupcakes the night before and just leave them out.
This is what I used to decorate this simple cake. The edible glitter really looks like pretty snowflakes.
The cake stand is pink milk glass - found on Ebay many years ago.
Happy Monday!
Sounds yummy! That cake plate is so sweet! I'm not a baker but you've inspired me!!
ReplyDeleteOk, yum! I just might need to bake a spring cake today. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is that i have been craving one of these lately. Used to make dozens of cakes but now that we're empty nesters and always watching our weight..........no more cake. Now I really am cravine one! XO
