:question:I saw Paula Deen add sour cream to a cake mix, but couldn't find it when I went online and searched. I want to make a cake mix pound cake with the pudding mix and would like to add the sour cream. Can any of you suggest how much? Thanks in advance - Betty

Many, many thanks to all You have all been a tremendous help and I can hardly wait to bake that cake now. Wish me luck!! If it turns out as good as it sounded, I will be heading for the Wilton dept. to get the complete works. Again, thanks a million!! Betty

I have a recipe I want to try, but it calls for splitting the layers of cake after baking and cooling. What is the best/easiest way to do this? Thank you for any and all help. betty

I found a 3 lb block of aged Cheddar cheese in my refrigerator that was given to us last Christmas. Okay, so it got in the dairy drawer and forgotten. It is double wrapped with shrink wrap, etc. I have not opened it, but was wondering if I should just trash it. What should be the expiration on...

Yes, in fact the recipe says to chill them first. The recipe is one I found on the Duncan Hines site for Oreo Balls. I want to make these for Christmas gifts and want them to look nice. Thanks!

Yippee!! Thanks to all for the great replies. Can hardly wait to get in there and make my milk chocolate fudge. Betty :chef:

My fudge recipe calls for 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips. I accidently bought milk chocolate morsels. What difference will this make in a fudge recipe? It is the recipe that uses marshmallow cream, evaporated milk, etc. Help and thanks in advance. Betty

I like to bake various breads (Apricot, Banana, Strawberry, and Cranberry Almond) to give with gifts at Christmas. Instead of the usual loaf pan (4 1/2 x 8 1/2), I want to use smaller loaf pans (5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4). In the past it seems the bread is too dry. Am I baking at the wrong temp...

I have used AccuChef, but then I found BigOven and like both. Big Oven allows you to make a grocery list from the recipes you choose, make menus that include the grocery list, nutrient values (I don't use, but should), and several features I really like. The grocery list puts all produce...

Thanks to all Many thanks to all of you that gave me ideas for the dinner menu. I think I now know exactly what to do. Betty

I want to make jambalaya for guests and do not know what I should serve with it. Also, what type plate/bowl? Any suggestions appreciated.
