I told the kids lets try a fruit cake using cake mix and Dream Whip , I had lots of help with my do-overs . I only had one when I used to much water , it had to cook longer , but the kids didn't care .
In a hurry for a cake using cake mix and want it to taste homemade . Use the Dream Whip , the directions are on the box and for pies also and it sure beat the pudding in the mix . Hmmm hmmm good .
