Hellobee Boards

My go to recipe: http://www.bakerella.com/finally-i-found-it/

I used Warren Brown's yellow butter cake and chocolate butter cake recipes from his Cakelove cookbook. That and my Maida Heatter's cake cookbook are basically like dessert bibles at our house. I made a strawberry buttercream icing by adding fresh pureed strawberries to my basic buttercream recipe. It was a nice color and flavor, but not overwhelming.

My favorite strawberry cake comes from a box. Strawberry cake box mix plus a cup of sour cream, some oil, some eggs, and some strawberry extract. It tastes like a strawberry milkshake

My go-to cake recipe is a box of Pilsbury mix with an extra egg (4 instead of the 3 called for in the instructions). It never fails me and always turns out way moister than anything I've made from scratch.

For my nephew's birthday cake a couple of weeks ago, I made devil's food cake and topped it with the Wilton chocolate buttercream recipe. If you do the chocolate icing, use the melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder. It makes a world of difference.

My go-to recipe - Too Much Chocolate Cake - it's so easy....and so so delicious
