Can cake mix be refregirated for a few days? I've got to make my course III cake for tomorrow, and I going to make 2 cake mixes, but I know I'll have some left over. I dont want to throw it out. I want to use the leftover in a couple of days for mini pumpkins. And if it makes a difference, I'll be using the cake mix extender.

Thanks everyone!!

I don't think you will get good results if you save the leftovers. I don't bake with a mix, but scratch cake batter cannot be saved.

Change of plans. Im just using plain cake mix. If this makes any difference.
Thanks!!!

I have to get up anyway and get my stepson off to school. Believe me, if it wasnt for that I'd still be snoozing!!

Oh yes, and thanks everyone for the advice! I'll just go ahead and use it. Thanks again, My cake baking pals !

BC, Just a thought...I just used 2 mixes to make my Course III cake and it wasn't quite enough. The layers were quite thin (see album). I could have easily used 2 and a half mixes for a 10" & 6" tiered cake. FYI

Yeah, Im done now and I used 2 cake mixes and my layers were really thin. I could've used 2 1/2, too. Oh well, a lesson learned.Thanks for advice everybody!

I made mine from scratch and had full 2 inch cakes. That to me is one more reason to use scratch recipes (if you have time of course) I thought my cakes were going to turn out like skinny little hockey pucks because I doubled the recipe and forgot to double the leavening. Oooops! Then they rose to fill the pans and I'm glad I didn't add the full amount or I would have had an oven full of burned batter!

Will not work...been there...done that...didn't work.
