Cooking Method: Baking

Like its partner, this isn’t like a cake box mix. Instead of being light and fluff, this cake was created to handle the fondant and sculpting Hall does when making a cake for Cobalt.

This isn’t your light and fluffy box cake mix. This cake was picked because it was sturdy, moist and could handle the carving that Hall does to our cakes for Cobalt.

I have lots of memories with this cake. But my favorite memory happened a few years ago when I was cooking this cake in my mom’s kitchen. You see, my mom was helping me out by greasing and flouring the Bundt pan. She had already greased it, and was finishing up the flouring part. Instead of pouring the remaining bits of flour into the trash can, my mom did something totally out of character – she blew into the pan, trying to blow away the excess flour. I wish I had a camera at that time, because I would have loved to taken a picture of my mom – her whole face and head was covered in flour. Till this day Brannon and I can’t make this cake without pretending to blow the excess flour away! Love you Mom!!! 🙂 -Janet To me, this is the cake of the winter holidays. When I make this cake, the whole house smells like Thanksgiving and Christmas. -Janet
