Could you please show use what is the name of the blender mixer you are using.thank you .

[@mariannepettys7993]

Will this work with 3 6" round pans? I'm making a layer mermaid cake for my granddaughters 3rd birthday. Any suggestions for cooking times?

[@toyamay1]

Perfect, can't wait to try. I am all for the "semi" homemade way of baking

[@SugarHighScore]

SAME! It's SO good and doesnt dry out like some 'made from scratch' cakes.

[@lizettebarrett9967]

I did it in a 8 inch cake pan . It came out absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing .

[@SugarHighScore]

Wonderful! Thank you for letting me know!

[@TaterTots620]

Thank you for sharing! Is there a way to “spruce up” store bought frostings? I always find them to be too sweet and taste cheap, but I have a couple jars I don’t even know what to do with it!

[@SugarHighScore]

I haven’t tried a spruced up canned frosting recipe but I’ve seen people melt canned frosting and then use it as a drip around the top of the cake. Seems like a great way to use it!!

[@shariamall2453]

I add softened butter, marshmallow fluff, a dash of salt, and high quality vanilla extract. And don’t worry the marshmallow fluff doesn’t add more sweetness. You can also add a cup or two of powdered sugar if you needed to frost a bigger cake.

[@sarahreed-eurogamergirl]

Wow, that's amazing! Still beyond anything I can do, as I don't have a mixer, but it's good to know that it's possible to make such a scrumptious-looking cake from a box mix.

[@toyamay1]

I only have a had mixed but im going to try :)

[@SugarHighScore]

Thank you, Sarah! I think you could make the cake without a mixer, but the buttercream does need a mixer!

[@sarahreed-eurogamergirl]

@@SugarHighScore I figured as much. I just don't bake, which is probably a good thing. lol. So we've never had need for a mixer. I'll happily continue to live vicariously through watching your videos. ;-D

Do you always use box cake mix .? Your cakes look amazing !

[@SugarHighScore]

Thank you! I use this one a lot! Sometimes in my videos Im testing out scratch vanilla cakes but they're never as good as this one so I don't post them. I do like a lot of Sally's baking addiction cake recipes like the coconut.

Do you the same with all the other flavors? Also can I substitute butter for more sour cream

[@SugarHighScore]

Yes you can try it with other flavors too! 😋😋(Although I haven’t tried chocolate, not sure how that would taste).

[@ODY0319]

@@SugarHighScore as far as substituting the butter for sour cream may I do that?

[@SugarHighScore]

@@ODY0319 that might be too much butter. Pioneer woman has a good article called 10 substitutions for sour cream. It might help you find something. 👍

@Sugar High Score I have done the chocolate wasc, the chocolate flavor gets a little diluted so I always add a couple tbl of cocoa powder!
