I get Bettercreme and Frostin' Pride at Cash & Carry, but I'm in Washington State. I don't know where you'd get it in Georgia. [I'm a big help, am I not? icon_rolleyes.gif]

Do you have a Sam's Club? Ask the bakery department. Otherwise, you can make this as a replacement:

For the scratch versions listed in the google docs can you treat them the same way as the box versions in terms of flavor variations?

When you use the soaking syrups, doesn't that make the cake too moist for easy slicing?

I don't use them. This recipe is plenty moist without them!

Hi MacsMom!  I'm going to be making the snickerdoodle cake off the google doc, which I've made in the past.  I've never noticed or added the cinnamon extract.  What brand do you recommend?  I'm nervous about adding a cinnamon extract, that it will end up being more "red hot candy" cinnamon than snickerdoodle cinnamon.  Thanks for your help!

You are right, omit the extract. A tiny bit goes a long way, and adding too much does it make too Red Hot'ish.

oh my gosh I am drooling reading all of these cake flavors!  The only one I have to offer is a vanilla spice cake with mexican hot chocolate butter cream. I don't have the recipe handy, I know that it has cayanne pepper in the frosting to give it a kick. Its been ages since I messed with it! maybe I will make it today :) now to dig out the recipe...

Yes, I make cupcakes with this recipe :) I prefer them to other cuppies that tend to be too dry or too airy.

AIm beyond thrilled to find this post! Thank you for sharing! I'm making the orange dreamsicle cake and I have decided not to use the melted sherbet. So do I need to use another liquid in place of it? Any help is appreciated! Thanks y'all!

The Davinci and Torani syrups don't add nearly as much flavor as the Loran flavors. I end up subbing for a lot of the other liquids just to get more flavor when I use the syrups.

 

Good to know about adding an extra egg white. Thanks for that tip!

 

MacsMom: I made your fudge filling that's listed in the document this week. It doesn't specify what size bag of chocolate chips so I used my regular 12 oz. bags. The filling was way too thick to use once it cooled. I ended up adding over a cup of half and half to make it spreadable. Did I add too much chocolate chips or do you think it was another problem.

 

BTW: the taste of the fudge filling is stupendous! Everyone who likes chocolate should try it. It's so much better than chocolate frosting in flavor and texture. We're eating it solo over here!

AI have tried several of your recipes and they are fantastic! This coming weekend I wanted to make Orange Dreamsicle cupcakes, I found the DH Orange Supreme cake mix, and I have the dreamsicle yogurt (I also have some TGIF drink mix). I want to make one batch for the adults and one for the kids, so my question is what liquid do I use as a substitute for the children's version (or does the alcohol bake out, like wine does when you cook with it,)?

Apologize if these questions have been asked or if they are dumb questions I'm still learning at adapting recipes. Anyway, should I use sunkist or orange juice....

Thank you for all the help you've provided to new and experienced bakers, I am so impressed and grateful with all the bakers that are so helpful and willing to teach the rest of us!

I'm not sure about your other questions, but I believe yes this is totally fine to do. Her cinnamon roll cake says : 3 Cinnamon Roll yogurts (or 2 c sour cream)

use sunkist because only about  half the alcohol cooks out ( just read this on epicurious)
