My Mom’s favorite color is yellow so I wanted to make her a yellow themed cake for Mother’s Day. But not actual no flavor yellow cake. So I used a white box cake mix (I’ve heard pros say that cake mix is just as good as homemade and I believe them- except pound cake but that’s another story). I added lemon extract to get a hint of lemon flavor. I didn’t want it to be overwhelming. I separated the batter and colored part of it yellow using my Wilton icing color gel in Lemon Yellow. Then I scooped the batter into the cake pans. I made a different pattern this time.
I made a huge batch of buttercream icing then separated it out and colored the batches.
I’m not as pleased with the finished product as I’d like. The flower petals drooped. Darn heat & humidity!
The inside came out all swirly yellow & white.
Gigi LOVED the cake. Papa did too. Yay! It was really tasty, if I say so myself!
