I followed your suggestion and added green icing to make this a retro Christmas cake. This was pretty good and my guests enjoyed it. I would like to try and make it without the cake mix sometime but the pudding to the cake mix was a nice addition that I will have to remember for other cakes mixes when I am feeling lazy. The icing was the perfect compliment - not to sticky sweet. Thanks for sharing!Reply
