How To Dress Up
If you choose to use store bought mixes with your center fill bakeware set, here are some tricks to help make them taste like you made them from scratch!
For the cake mixes, add melted butter instead of the oil. Oil has no flavor, butter has lots! Add milk or juice instead of water. Add an extra teaspoon of flavoring such as vanilla. Don’t get too carried away or the cake might not rise properly.
To enhance the flavors of icing add one stick of soft, unsalted butter,
a tablespoon of light corn syrup and a teaspoon of flavoring such as vanilla. Mix until smooth. You can also whip in one egg white or a tablespoon of meringue powder. This will add air, improving the texture.
For instant pudding add half and half or cream to the mix instead of milk. For fruit flavored varieties add part cream and part fruit juice. Fold in a cup of stiffly whipped cream to the prepared pudding to give it a mousse like texture. For extra thick filling don’t add all of the liquid called for in the directions. Other recommendations include adding a teaspoon of flavoring, such as vanilla, flaked sweetened coconut to coconut pudding or diced bananas to a banana flavored mix.
