Boxed store brand cake mixes are good but you can make them even better by adjusting the ingredients just a bit.  By tweaking it a little it makes the cake super moist.  I always get a bunch of compliments  and people are surprised that it’s just a simple doctored up cake mix. I made this chocolate cake for hubs on Valentines Day; hence the red, white and pink M&M’s on top.  The cake is so [...]

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

October 18, 2011 4 comments

I really can’t see why anyone would dislike whoopie pies.  They’re basically hand held pieces of cake.  These particular whoopie pies are made with a devil’s food cake mix and icing made with marshmallow cream.  Yum! The cake tops turned out super soft and moist.  Which kinda made them harder to eat but that’s half the fun.  The messier the better I say, it usually means you’re eating something delicious if you’re willing to be [...]

I’ve never been a fan of sugary icings.  I can’t enjoy a good piece of cake when the icing is so sweet.  This buttercream recipe produces a creamy vanilla frosting that does not make your teeth [...]

Well it’s been quite eventful here the last few days and I apologize for not posting in the last week.  It’s kinda hard, no… impossible really, to blog when you can’t even sit at your computer.  Let me just say that I have never experienced such pain ever before in my life!! The problem hasn’t really been diagnosed yet and tomorrow morning I’m heading to the doctors after spending two separate evenings in the ER [...]

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

May 11, 2010 0 comments

This past weekend was my husband’s birthday.  Being the chocolate fanatic that he is, I just had to bake him a chocolate cake. I made a simple devil’s food boxed cake, adding chocolate chips into the batter too.  Since I made a box cake, I figured I should at least make homemade frosting. I chose to make the chocolate frosting listed on the back of my container of Nestle Toll House cocoa powder.  Wowzers!  It [...]
