I am new too, and have been afraid to venture away from the box cake mixes. Thanks so much for the recipes and the information that you have given! I think that I'll bake tonight!

One more question macsmom, please.

I have 3 two layers that I will torte. Do I need to use supports between the layers or will it be o.k. without.

So it will be a 3 tiered cake? Yes, always support one cake on top of the other, no matter how small.

Or do you mean you will have 6 layers of cake and 5 fillings? (Which would be a very tall cake!).

I baked 3 8inch square cakes that are 2 inches tall. I will carve the layers to resemble the shape of your cake and I was thinking I'd torte each layer (maybe not). If I don't torte and have 3 2 inch layers, do you think I should support the layers?

Oh! duh.

Nope, no inside support required. I just stacked the three 2" cakes without torting for that one. (2 layers of filling - well, that's obvious).

It's reminiscent of the Hostess cupcake filling. I simply beat two packages of cheesecake pudding mix (or white chocolate) with a small container of Frostin Pride in it's liquid state, until I achieve a thick enough consistency.

It's similar to Bettercreme, but it has more of a vanilla flavor and it's a bit heavier. You can use Bettercreme, too.

You can beat the pudding into Cool Whip (or other whipped topping), but it is not shelf stable so it needs to be refrigerated and eaten within a few hours. It would be better to add it to heavy cream and sugar (homemade whipped topping).

do you prepare the pudding first or do you just add the pudding mix?

Macs mom:

Thank you so much for all of the flavor variations..my 12 year old saw the dreamsicle and coconut and requested those flavors for her cake next month.

Thank you again, that is very generous of you to share!
