Hey all,
I am making a cake for my dad's 50th birthday - well, I am actually making 2. The one I am struggling with is for him to take to work. It is just going to be a sheet cake, but he doesn't care what kind. I have a ton of cake mixes at home, and was hoping to use them up, but I want to use white icing, so that kind of eliminates chocolate cake. I have the Pilsbury Golden Butter mix and Funfetti :S. I was wondering if I could add spices to either mix (I would try to sift the sprinkles out of the Funfetti mix) to make it more like a spice cake.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Why would having white icing eliminate it being a chocolate cake? If you do a crumb coat of icing on it, the chocolate wouldn't show through if that is what you are worried about. I just made a chocolate Mayo cake over the weekend and used white icing. Looked great and tasted wonderful.

what about a very small pinch of cardomon mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg? i find that cardomon (sp?) adds something to cake mix...
