Thanks very much for the recipe. And good luck with the firing process. Having done it myself in the past I know its not pleasant and takes up a lot of your time. But its worthwhile I believe, because working on an order in a resentful fashion is no way to be doing business...its bad for the soul.
To all who indicated they wanted the recipe:
Pink Lemonade cake/ cupcakes are an "adjusted" yellow cake. So use whatever your standard yellow cake is (it works for scratch or boxes- but the dryer texture of scratch works a little better)
For 6 cup batter recipe:
Make you standard yellow cake recipe
add 1 tsp lemon extract & 1/2 tsp rasp extract to wet ingredients (optional- you can add 1tsp red food color to bump up the pink color if you like)
add 1/4 c sweetened pink lemonade mix to dry ingredients- (I use countrytime, but brand doesnt matter)
after baking & cooling completely mix 1/2 c pink lemonade mix with 1/4 cup of water. poke holes in the layers or cupcakes with a skewer and brush the layers with the concentrated dissolved mix.

I made this today and it is fantastic! I added the red food coloring because it looked pale and it looked very nice once baked. It tasted fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Update on the customer... It was basically a non-event. I emailed & called her the same day and explained that I did not want them to be dissapointed on such an important day and I would be cancelling her order and refund her money.. basically she said "Ok..thanks" and thats it. Mailed the check out yesterday... we'll see if she cashes it.
Tried the pink lemonade cake today. Used Toba Garrett's yellow cake as the base recipe. I also added a little red coloring to bump the pink up. Outrageously good!!!!!!
Thanks!!!

I typically pair this cake with lemon curd filling and a mild lemon buttercream.
And as far as the customer- I decided to give her till Tuesday to respond to my initial email since its a holiday week and her email address is a work one, she may be on vacation. But I have decided if i do not hear from her to email her a "firing" letter with a read reciept and then Certified mail mail the same letter with a check a few days later (asuming she hasn't contacted me). The bride is out of town and I have not dealt with her at all, but I have her email and plan to CC her omn the email- will let you know how it goes.
thanks so much for the recipe,cant wait to try it
