I've always loved mixing 2 cups of whipping cream with a box of vanilla pudding mix! Makes a great filling.

i do this as well but with 1 cup each (milk, heavy whipping cream). does it have to be vanilla pudding? you could use a box of oreo pudding mix with the milk/cream for a filling and would be delicous with the choc cake. these fillings have to be refrigerated of course. i don't have access to any bettercream but others on here use that in place of the milk/cream along with the pudding mixes which i believe does not have be be refridgerated.

Jana -- Yes, I use vanilla Frostin Pride "doctored up" and chocolate Bettercreme straight. I love adding cream cheese and pudding, but can't do that for this one (I have been tempted to try and sneak it in!! Twisted Evil ). Do you think the FP and jello is "pudding enough"?

I'd love to do oreos n cream or something more fun, but the in laws (where the party is being held) don't like cream cheese or "foo foo" flavors!! Shocked Evil or Very Mad Crying or Very sad

Thanks for your help guys!!

I am making the chocolate WASC cake that is on the document. Does anyone know how many cups of batter it will make? Just realized that my 8" square pan is going to be too small for what I am doing, and the next size I have is a 12" but not sure that I am going to have enough batter. I am thinking I will need to make the recipe twice...

Thanks


I know this is late, but it's not easy to keep up with this wonderful gianormous thread. Anyway, using BC mix, I get about 7 1/2 cups of batter for each 1 mix WASC chocolate recipe (my version is a bit different, but I don't think it would effect the measurements). HTH.

You can always make the drive to Fresno to Creative Cakes on Ashlan & Winery (by Girl Scouts - just east of hwy 168) and buy a filling sleeve of Vienna creme or Bavarian creme.

I love my pumpkin cake, but for my sons birthday Nov 14th I want to extend the recipe as one recipe only fills one 9" square pan Confused (it doesn't rise much), so I'm going to simply add a box of white cake mix to the recipe (and maybe another cup of pumpkin). I also want to make the cake lighter (it's really more like a quick bread as is), so I'm hoping that just adding the box of cake mix will help.

I'm going to experiment with it later this afternoon, so I'll let you know how it came out tomorrow!

You all are CAKE ANGELS!! I'm only on pg 185, but holy cow what a gold mine. Last weekend I made the Orange Dreamsicle, Chocolate covered Cherry and Andes Dream........needless to say my family is 10 lbs heavier but they can't stop smiling. Thank you everyone who has posted these recipes. I made the chocolate cover cherry cake into cake balls covered in dark chocolate and biting into it was like a cherry explosion in the brain Laughing I can't wait to try the Eggnog flavor the second it comes out in stores

Eggnog is wonderful!! They have the creamer out now too but I've always used the eggnog drink to substitute for the liquid. For cupcakes I fill with vanilla Bettercreme and top with rum flavored Bettercreme. Melts in your mouth!

Have you seen all of the new International Delights flavors? (With silver labels). They have a creme de menthe (or something like that), a white chocolate raspberry, spiced rum something-or-other, peppermint mocha...

Eggnog is now on the shelves at Savemart!

Hey, has anyone seen or tried the the A&W Root Beer ice cream topping? Thought of cake the minute I saw it!! There was also a Crush topping -- orange/vanilla -- for the orange dreamcile. I'm always looking for the malted milk and happened to see these at Raley's. Smile

I tried a Bavarian creme from a nearby store and found it to be a bit too synthetic for my liking. How does the Vienna creme compare? Thanks!

I feel the same about Bavarian. I like Vienna better - it has a stronger vanilla taste.

andrea called me as well and was so sweet and helpful stressing that i should call if i had any questions or needed help using their products in my recipes. i can't wait to get the samples to start experimenting!
It' so good to see everyone using Amoretti flavorings. I am new to cake decorating, and my sister works for them, she got me a ton of stuff and I love it!!!! You should try their fondant, it is perfect, so easy to work with.
