Very cute! Do you just bake the cake according to the box’s instruction first?
Thank you!! Yes, just follow the instructions on the box! I do like to use 4 eggs for box recipes, use 1 cup of oil and 1 cup of sour cream because it makes all box cakes really moist! Hope you had a great holiday!!
Perfect recipe for 4th of July or any summer BBQ! I have to try!
