Today, we all lead very busy lives and don’t have hours to spend in our kitchens baking cakes.
When I am pressed for time and need a nice dessert cake, I will reach for a box of chocolate cake mix. I don’t bake just plain cakes, I like to add things to them to make them ‘extra special’.
Cake Baking Tips:
1. Invest in a cake tester. You can pick up one for less than $6.00 at most kitchen stores.
2. Don’t over bake your cakes. I tend to remove my cakes from the oven 3-4 minutes before the recommended time because they will continue baking in the cake pan.
3. Don’t grease and flour your baking pans unless the recipe calls for it.
4. Always let your cakes cool before frosting them.
Here are some recipes that you can easily make from a box of cake mix.

You probably thought that chocolate fudge is the ultimate fudge recipe. Undeniably, it is one of the most loved fudges but there are so many fudge variations out there that for sure, you’d be so surprised about them. Fudge is not just a fudge dish but rather there are some nuances to this recipe. Don’t think that chocolate fudge is the only fudge around. There are tons of really great fudge recipes that you can choose from when you’re feeling bored with the usual fudge recipe. Here are some tips for you to not get bored with your Fudge!
1) Reinvention is Key! You should give your ordinary and everyday fudge recipe a great makeover. You need to experiment with other recipe ingredients to make sure that you get new really delish fudge recipes. Invent your own fudge recipe. Make modifications on older fudge recipes.
2) Consider Fudge Recipe Variations There are now all kinds of fudge types which you could do. Among these are white chocolate fudge recipes, marble fudge & even “raw” fudge. To these types, you can add several more interesting variations or fillers like adding fruits, all kinds of nuts, chunks of chocolate, crushed candy and all other great ingredients you think will add another layer of excitement for your fudge.
3) Experiment with Deliciously Unique & Sometimes Odd Variations Don’t forget to get creative and experiment. Veer away from usual known additions to fudge. Get out of your comfort zone and try other ingredients you’d normally not add into your fudge. Ingredients like coconut and cranberries are not really common additions to a fudge recipe so you might like to try them out.
Just try out ingredients you’d not really want to use and see if you get good results. Here is 1 not quite ordinary fudge recipe that you might like to try out. Enjoy!
