  1. Oh my, this was terrific! I haven't made many cake mix desserts but the description of this cake won me over. This is so simple and looks fantastic! I used a Duncan Hines White cake mix. Next time I would cut back slightly on the sugar in the whipped cream filling- just personal taste. Make sure you have enough room in your fridge- this baby's tall! Thanks so much for this showstopper.
