Ok, I was just on a thread that mentioned adding Caramel/Vanilla Coffeemate to your cake. I did a search for that topic, unfortunately, couldn't find what I was looking for. So, I apologize if this is a repeat post. But, I have heard that it is very good and would like to know more.
What flavor of cake do you add it to?
How much do you use?
Etc.....
Thanks, in advance, for your advice and tips!
Ohhh..I was thinking it was a liquid. Interesting. I will have to try it. I use the Betty Crocker French Vanilla all of the time, and am very happy with the flavor, this will make it taste that much better, and richer. Thanks for the post. I must has missed that.
I just did a Betty Crocker French Vanilla cake last weekend and used the Liquid Coffee Mate in Coconut Cream. SOOOO good. I added about 2 tablespoons in place of some of the water. In addition I added a box of Coconut pudding and and extra egg. One of my favorite doctored cakes so far!
Here is the original thread....

OK....yum, that sounds good too. So, is the trick to adding pudding to a cake that already has pudding is it to add an extra egg? Thanks for your tip.
I've used that creamer, the liquid version to make cake balls, i used scraps from a white vevet butter cake and then dipped them in white chocolate... yum, yum, they were soo good!!
I add a box of pudding and an extra egg to every boxed mix I use for two reasons.
1. It can change or enhance the flavor of your cake (ie: Make a lemon cake more lemony or make a vanilla cake become coconut)
2. It makes the cake more moist and dense.
Since I started doing it I have not had a cake fall apart on me. Additionally it makes cakes easier to stack, carve and frost.
I guess that is my best tip from CC! 
Which I guess really belongs in the other thread, but oh well! 
Thanks hockeygirl658, that was the thread that I was just on when I saw the mention of the vanilla/caramel coffeemate, about the best secrets on CC. I love this website. It is a cake decorator's dream come true!
Thanks for the tip. Everyone loves my cakes now, can't wait to mix it up a little and wow them even more!!!!!
I dragged my son to the supermarket just to get the vanilla/caramel creamer....they had every flavor EXCEPT that one!!!!
I have another supermarket nearby...I'll try that one before I have one of you guys mail me some!!!
I would imagine that some of the other flavors would be awesome, too. I can't wait to try Creme Brulee and someone else posted that they use the amaretto flavor. I did try the Caramel Vanilla last night on a white scratch cake for my son's 2nd birthday party (today) and the scraps were so good. I also added 2 TBS to my buttercream and I think it was the best tasting buttercream I have had.
I made the enhanced white cake mix yesterday and added the vanilla/caramel creamer. THEN I got tied up on a plumbing project with my husband and ran out of time, so I got a can of vanilla frosting and stirred some of the creamer into it. It was yummy! I was planning to add it to buttercream before my plans got changed, and I'm pretty sure I've read on here that people have done it.

When you added the creamer to the canned frosting did you use the powder or the liquid?
Adding it to the buttercream sounds very good too.
I actually just went to Meijer and they had a special on the liquid Coffeemate Creamer.....10 for $10.00 and the 11th is free. They are normally $1.79 each. So, I will eventually try the powdered version, but couldn't pass up the good deal on the liquid (especially since it has a refrigerator life, unopened, until Christmas). I bought the Vanilla/Carmel, French Vanilla (to add to my French Vanilla cake), and Coconut.
I think I may try the cake balls using the creamer too.
