How do I spruce up a cake mix?
There are a few different tricks you can try. First, I would suggest a homemade frosting. To me, the most telling part of a cake is the commercial, sickly sweet frosting. With some powdered sugar and a little love, frosting is one of the easiest parts of a dessert to cook up. As for the cake itself, you could consider adding soft nuts, possibly walnuts, or another ingredient that adds to the texture of the cake that many wouldn’t expect from a store-bought cake.
