Yes it has! All I can figure is that you have to log on or respond to every notice or the system will assume you don't want to be notified...Even if you already read the latest entry to the thread.
Woo Hoo! I made Irish Car Bomb...!
Awesome!!! I am sooo adding Irish Car Bomb (if you don't mind).
Oh please add it to your list! I love sharing!
Ohh chikie that apple cake sounds good!! Can't wait to hear how the brown sugar smbc turns out. The regular recipe is one of my favorites!
I saw this recipe on TV and it looks delicious. The cake part is scratch, but I'm sure Chocolate WASC could be subbed for the scratch cake. It is Chocolate Graham Cracker cupcakes with marshmallow frosting

I came so close to making this cake last year, but made a pumpkin instead. I wonder if using spice cake in place of white mix, apple cider in place of water & brown sugar in place of white sugar would work? Don't know about adding apples though. Maybe putting them in the filling would be yummy!
Hi MacsMom,
I wanted to let you know that everyone loved your orange dreamsicle cake! Can you please give me the instructions on how to make the Cinnamon Roll cake?
Thank you!
Danyelle
Oh, yoplait does have a cinnamon roll yogurt now. It's pretty yummy!
What a talented group of people. Don't mean to sound silly but what is WASC? Thanks
Okay... now I have a kicker for you.
I was browsing the local supermarket and was attacked by the snack lady who was demo-ing ..... got this.... CRAN-POMEGRANITE by ocean spray... well... thx to MACSMOM and CHEFSTEFF.... I bought it b/c my horizons have been expanded.
Well of course I had to sample it... it is to die for... doesn't taste cranberry at all... pure Pomegrantie flavor.
So now I've got to try this in a cake... can you ladies (and any gents peeking in) give me some ideas how to use this find?????
Do I go Chocolate or White cake on this puppy???

no worries... no dumb questions here... White Almond Sour Cream.... doctored cake mix recipe.
http://www.recipezaar.com/White-Almond-Sour-Cream-Wedding-Cake-69630
It is the base for most all of the recipes here. 
What happens... I blink and 17 pages escapes me!!! argh!!
MacsMom... I have to say ALLL HAIL MACSMOM
Your Tuxedo cake is TO DIEEEEE FOR ... the truffle fillings... WOW. I made a cake for my Doc at hubbys work... a docs bag and used it and your cake recipe and truffles had everyone in an uproar...
I think I will have to pay you residuals from all the cake sales I made that day haha
Thank you .... my kids thank you and my now getting chubby hubby eating a cupcake version of it says thank you
Just an fyi for anyone interested....If you live near a Friendlys restaurant, they have ice cream by the half gallon to purchase to go and they have many great flavors but I saw a fruit swirl called orange cream!!! We could use this in place of the sherbet in the orange dreamsicle cake right?????
Lots of great flavor choices there too..
I just made key lime cupcakes and my gosh they are so freaking good that I don't know if i'll be able to stop eating them!
I did a version of the graham cracker WASC... 1 box yellow cake, 1 cup graham crackers, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons honey extract and the rest the same as the basic WASC. I then used a graham cracker crust at the bottom of the cupcakes.. YUM.
For the filling I used a can of sweetened condenssed milk and 1/2 a cup key lime juice.
For the frosting I used about 2 cups bettercream, a teaspoon key lime extract, and poured in some confectioners sugar until it got to a consistancy that I could pipe a frosting swril with.
DELICIOUS!
It would be pretty easy to convert it to cake.. just omit the graham cracker crust.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Filling:
2 cups Bettercreme
1 small pkg. White Chocolate pudding mix
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Whip 2 cups liquid Bettercreme with small pkg. pudding until thick. Refrigerate.
Cream butter and sugars on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add water and vanilla. Gradually add flour. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cake layer and cover with Bettercreme mixture.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to fold the cookie doug mixture into the bettercreme mixture---you know how you find bits of "cookie dough" in your blizzard? I would like small balls, maybe 1/4 or 1/2 tsp size in it. Or if you don't think it would work to fold it in, would it work to put down the bettercream & then plop the dough balls on top & let them get pushed into the bettercream as the top layer of cake is put on?
I'm using up various layers for my dd's cake. Her ship layer will be regular WASC & white chocolate & I think I'm going to try the cookie dough filling unless someone has another suggestion--just no fruit filling. I'm just really wanting to try new recipes & combos.
boy that's odd, I was wondering why I wasn't getting email responses -- the "watch this topic" button was clicked off. Huh! Has this happened to anyone else?
The same here, that happened to me 2x already.. I don't know why 
I have just read through all 86 pages (well, I skimmed some, especially after printing the Google doc). WOW!! While I was working all night, no less, thank goodness it was a slow one!
I haven't been baking much since Christmas, now I wish I could go home and bake! But alas, the bed is really calling me this morning, but I will bake something tonight!
Here's my question: Has any tried using a Jiffy cake mix to make WASC?
I am making cupcakes for my mother's retirement party, I want 30 total, 1/2 chocolate 1/2 white. Even if I made 1/2 recipes of choc & white WASC, I would end up with 60. In theory it should work to 1/4 the recipe...
Also, has anyone converted a white cake mix by adding chocolate to it? I was thinking about looking up a traditional chocolate scratch cake mix, taking the amount of chocolate (powder, squares, whatever) & adding that to a white mix. Any thoughts?
I'm not getting notified of posts either. Even though the Watch this Topic is still on. Things that make ya go hmmmmmmm

.. I wonder if using spice cake in place of white mix, apple cider in place of water & brown sugar in place of white sugar would work?...
Spice cake mix is yucky, IMO. It's tastes sooo good to add 1 t cinnamon, 1 t cloves, and 1 t nutmeg to white cake mix.
I have a recipe saved where you just add a 20 oz can of apple pie filling plus 1 t of baking powder to cake batter, and perhaps a teaspoon of lemon juice.
So now I've got to try this in a cake... can you ladies (and any gents peeking in) give me some ideas how to use this find?????
Do I go Chocolate or White cake on this puppy???
I would do white cake, use the juice instead of water (I'm sure that was lareadythe plan), but also add a dram of LoRann pomegrate flavor. Add perhaps red food coloring.
Hi MacsMom,... Can you please give me the instructions on how to make the Cinnamon Roll cake?
Thank you!
Danyelle
WASC using 1 c white sugar + 1 cup powdered sugar, Cinnamon Bun creamer, Cinnamon Roll yogurt, and I add mioni-cinnamon chips to the batter.
I swirl the batter with:
4 T butter, melted
2/3 c brown sugar
5 t cinnamon
...but I prefer to use the filling mix by King Arthur Flour.
I fill it with:
Cinnamon Roll Cake cream Cheese Filling
8 oz cream cheese
2 c powdered sugar
6 oz melted white chocolate

I've never seen Jiffy cake mix. Is it the same size box? (I know thier muffin mixes are small).
I'm sure you could make a chocoalte cake out of white by doing what you stated. I would add a bag of melted chooclate chips - blend the eggs into it before adding it the batter to halp it blend in more uniformly. If you can find Nielsen Massey's chocolate extract, use 4 teaspoons of that and use coffee for the liquid to enhance the chocolate flavor. (You won't be able to taste the coffee).
Do you think you can make simple syrup using creamer or can you use liquid creamer to paint right on the layers like you would the simple syrup, as long as its not too wet?
thoughts?

You could probably use any liquid, but with the recipes posted in this thread a simle syrup would probably be overkill - WASC variations are already very moist.
Does anybody know if these cakes are good enough to carve, meaning dense?? I am reading that they are very moist and very DELICIOUS...but can we carve them into shapes without them crumbling all apart??
I carve a lot of cakes without problem. In fact, I was looking for a dense cake to carve when I found WASC. I do recommend using fat-free creamer and light sour cream, and skipping the pudding. Though I've gotten used to carving when the pudding adds a bit too much moisture so I leave it in now.
Like always...thanks again Macsmom
Boy y'all are making me HUNGRY with all this talk of cinnamon swirls... 
Speaking of spice cakes, my all-time favorite cake that I always make on my birthday since it's during fall is Pumpkin Spice Cake w/ cinnamon cream cheese icing. It's delicious.
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (or white)
1 package pumpkin pie pudding (found at Wal-Mart year round usually)
1 (15 ounce) can canned pumpkin puree
1-2 TB Pumpkin Pie Spice (I like alot so I just keep pouring it in)
4 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4-1/2 cup liquid (I usually use milk or water and the amount is approximate.. it just thins up the batter a bit)
It's pretty dense/moist so I don't think you'd need to add the flour, sugar and sour cream called for in the wasc.
