I am looking for the basic white/yellow cake recipes. After 15yrs, I am looking to get back into baking for friends and family. I am looking for the melt in your mouth taste to practice for friends and family before I take on the "new" techniques for the icing and decoating. I am rebuilding everything from the pans to the basic supplies. So for now I am using the 9in pans and the 9 x 13 in pans.

Our Michael's store has moved and I haven't had the chance to go and see what they have just yet....I have a couple of days before having to put the icing on...(crossing my fingers).
