I made my first pound cake the other day and it was really good, but I am wanting to do something a bit lighter this time. I LOVED working with the pound cake. It was very easy to shape and I am all about the decorating. I am wondering if there is something I can add to a store bought cake mix to make it easier to shape and work with?
