I found this recipe on CakeCentral.com— I really like it for carving cakes….especially cakes that are tapered at the bottom (Topsy turvy cakes, Pillow Cake, etc.).
****We use Duncan Hines cake mix
**** If using Betty Crocker or Pillsbury (pudding in the mix) cake mixes, I DO NOT add the box of instant pudding .
***I often double this recipe.

Awesome! I will give this recipe a try! Thanks for your quick response!!
If you are doing chocolate would you use chocolate pudding mix instead of vanilla?
Hi Kelly, You could use either, but for more chocolate flavor chocolate pudding would be great.
