Amazing flavor combinations! Thankyou everyone for the inspiration. I've been getting really sick of the same old chocolate and vanilla my family requests.
MacsMom if it's ok to ask would you be willing to share how you make the orange dreamsicle cake. It sounds so good! Thankyou.
macsmom you are truly amazing.........................everyone adored your tiramisu version!
Yeah a flavor I truly love!!!!
Do you use the mascarpone cheese stright from the tub or do you strain it first?
if you have a specific recipe I would love to have it....
Mascarpone Filling
1 c mascarpone cheese (from tub)
1/4 c sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons Kahlua (or coffee extract)
2 c whipped Frostin Pride 
WOW ! All amazing ideas!
I'm embarassed to say all I ever do is white cake with buttercream filling.
Not anymore!
Ack!! I forgot! Okay, I'll dream one up in a bit...
Oh my goodness, I didn't mean to put you on the spot. Whenever- if ever, you get the time I would really appreciate it..or should I say my hubby would really appreciate it
!
Well, I've looked at recipes for honey cake and I think it would work just fine to use yellow cake mix with the only change in the WASC recipe being to substitute 1 c of the sugar for 1 c honey. Use butter extract and vanilla extract, and perhaps add mini-chocolate chips. (Or maybe a milk chocolate cake with honey! 
)
The filling would be something like Bettercreme or Truffle filling with crushed up honeycomb mixed in. Like Cadbury's "Crunchie" bar.

It's my favorite cake!
Orange Dreamsicle
1 box white cake mix
2 c melted orange sherbet
1 c flour
1 c sugar
2 Yoplait orange creamsicle yogurt
1 pkg vanilla pudding
3 eggs
2 T oil
2 t orange extract
I just read a recipe from Lindy Smith where she makes an orange cake and marbles it with melted chocolate - a new twist instead of adding mini-chocolate chips to cake batter! I want to try that for my next experiment. Perhaps with the honeycomb cake.
I have the recipe for homemade honeycomb, but don't have time to copy it down just now...
Macsmom,
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing all these great ideas. You are a very generous person to share your ideas and inspiration with us.
WOW! I've been reading for 20 minutes now, and I can't wait to try some of these flavors!!!!!!!
I agree, MacsMom ~ YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the list; and thanks to everyone who posted a new flavor or recipe!!!!! I, too, was getting tired of the same old cakes..................now I can't wait!!!!!!!!!
But I REALLY need to go to bed!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys!!!!!!!
MacsMom..do you think the recipes that you mix with Frostin' Pride would work with simple Buttercream?
Well, I wouldn't add pudding to buttercream, but you could use Cool Whip. It just has to stay refrigerated until a of couple hours before the party if you are using fondant (so the condensation can dry), and then put the leftovers back in the fridge ASAP.
But you can certainly flavor your BC with everything else except the pudding Have you checked out all of the flavors of LoRann oils yet? The cheesecake flavor works well in BC, especially if there is salt in your recipe (to dampen the sweetness).
And it doesn't take much of the oils. I usually mix in to the amount I'll be using for the filling & it really only takes a few drops.
Macsmom--you're awesome!!! I was going to ask you about the peanut butter cake but I found an answer from you in another thread---so I didn't have to bother you for it!! I can't wait to try some of these combinations!!! My son's b-day is coming up and he LOVES peanut butter so that's first on my list!
Thanks for sharing all this information!!!! And thank you to everyone else too!! I LOVE this site!!!
Ok share your answer to the PB cake. I've looked for a good recipe that isn't too heavy---I've yet to find one

I'm glad you asked because the recipe originally stated to use yellow butter cake mix, but it doesn't turn out very good with that! (I recently learned through trial).
I had always used white cake mix because I always have it on hand, but I finally broke down and bought the butter mix to make for my cousin. It came out really thick with a heavy texture, so I re-made it with white cake mix and it was wonderful.
Peanut Butter Cake
2 pkgs white cake mix
1 1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 c coffee creamer
1 c butter, softened
8 egg whites
Filling
1 jar creamy peanut butter (2 c)
2 pkgs cream cheese
2 c powdered sugar
2 T vanilla extract
2 C Bettercreme
Bettercreme and Frostin Pride are non-dairy whipped toppings that can survive 5 days on the counter after whipped.
It's hard to find. I buy mine at Smart&Final and I've heard that you can get it from the bakery department at Sam's Club.
You can always use Cool Whip instead, but it must be refrigerated.
Thank you MacsMom.
Let me tell you, it's exhausting trying to find all these alternative ingredients. I usually have my kids in toe and when I come up to the baking section I get a "oh no, not again" because I leterally read all the ingredients on all the products. And finding non dairy items is a job in itself.
next on my list: Bettercreme and Frostin Pride
I'm so excited!!!!
OOOOH....maybe I can find it online just like the Loranne oils. ( my right eyebrow is lifting as I speak)
MacsMom if there would be a cable I could purchase that connects to your brains into mine, It would be a really great investment for me.
You are the best! If I haven't thanked you before than I would like to thank you for all the wealth of info you have shared with me.
MacsMom Do you whip the bettercream first then fold it in ?
Thanks.
I just replied to fiasmama in a PM about another cake flavor to add:
"I was reading in another thread about acheiving a chocolate 'crunch' and someone came up with pouring straight melted chocolate over the torte and popping in the fridge to harden.
I'm going to add that to my cake list as a chocolate-dipped ice-cream cone! I'll spread Bettercreme whipped with white-chocolate pudding over the hardened chocolate. But of course, I have to try it first to be sre it works!"
Anyone have any other thoughts about how to make this cake come alive?
Maybe some chopped toasted nuts w/ a drizzle of raspberry or strawberry or cut up mar. cherries (or mar. cherry flavored bettercream). Ok, I'm thinking of a yummy sundae at this point!
I was wanting to ask if you have a "jelly" filling. For some reason kids love PB & J. i was thinking of a PB & J cake (PB cake & jelly filling), but not sure on how to go about the filing. Sorry if it's been answered.
I wish Baskin Robbins was open this late!!
I do have a Sundae cake already, but I like the chopped nuts idea!
I am too lazy to make my own fruit fillings, so I buy them CountryKitchenSA.com
Look under "pastry fillings". Unless anyone knows of a cheaper source!
