I am donating two 10 inch round cake to a dessert auction at Church one week from today. I know for sure that I'm doing a red velvet cake.

THe other flavor is still up in the air. My oven seems to be burning chocolate cakes no matter how careful I am. icon_confused.gif So I'm staying away from those.

I want to do something simply but still delectable that will really bring in some money for the charity.

Pump me with ideas!

White chocolate macademia nut coffee creamer mixed into the frosting. NOt sure of the exact measurements, but the creamer is absolutely amazing.

I bought it at Wal-Mart. It's a limited edition flavor made by International Delight. It's the liquid, not powder. I found it in the milk section. HTH

If you do a search in the forums on coffee creamer you'll find the measurements and instructions for use in icings and cake mixes. There's lots of flavors available. I learned about it in the forums. I'm a coffee fanatic and always have flavored creamer on hand, just never thought to use it on cakes.

I'd suggest go with something more suitable to a wide audience -- try the White almond sour cream cake (awesome!) which is a very tasty white cake. Most people like white cake. Or a yellow cake. Not everyone likes chocolate icon_confused.gif and not everyone likes this or that, but most like a white or yellow cake. And like the other posters said, you can doctor with some great flavors!!

Okay, I'll give it a go . . . I find that most people like the taste AND look of a vanilla or butter marbled cake. And I recently fell in love with the cheesecake-flavored pudding that Jello makes. I mix it with Pastry Pride or Bettercream (per reccommendations on here). You beat the pudding with half and half instead of milk and then fold it into the whipped pastry pride. If you don't have either of those I bet you could use cool whip or maybe just whip it with heavy cream and see if that works. I also loved the coconut cream flavored pudding too, but the cheesecake has a really nice eggy, custard like flavor so it's rich and creamy.
HTH!

HELP -- I did a search and came up with over 3000 possible threads (many repeats) but no measurements or instructions. Is there a particular thread you are thinking of??

Thank you!

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that there were that many threads on it. Here is the one I have saved in my watched topics. It has several different pieces of advice as to what measurements to use or what to replace in the recipe or box mix with the creamer. I hope this helps.

These all sound so good, and that link was incredible. My question is if you are using the refridgerated liquid creamer in regular buttercream, do you have to refridgerate the final product? I am so scared of experimenting with something and it spoiling (if I give it to someone else-if it happens to me that's learning). I have very little refridgerator space so I usually only do cakes or icings that can sit out.

OMG! I bought this and used it for my Pastor's Appreciation Cake (in my gallery). I used it in the cake AND the buttercream. PLUS, I used white chocolate pudding mix in the cake batter. RAVES! I don't even use creamer in my coffee, but, now...I have 3 BIG containers in my frig....just in case! LOLL
