Yummy! Okay, I've printed and have a family reunion to bake for next weekend. My problem is that it's so hard for me to get a cake frosted nicely, especially when it's four layers. That cupcake idea might be better for me. Plus, less messy for serving. Hmmm...do I need to make any adaptations in the recipe for cupcakes? How long would I cook them? Any bakers with any tips on turning this cake recipe into a cupcake recipe?

People who constantly worry about butter, bacon, cholesterol, eggs, etc. etc. worry thereselves right into a health crisis. Ease up.....you are not going to live on this cake, a piece won't hurt you...if you get a fork and the cake stand with the cake....well you might have a problem.

I would think that transporting that high a cake might pose a problem. I'd probably try to take the layers and the frosting separately and assemble there. I cannot separate a layer, so I bake them separately. I would divide cake mix into quarters and bake 4 individual layers, thereby avoiding the cutting.

Plus, just get a white cake mix, use the butter instead of the oil and add the cinnamon. Hm...

This is what I plan to do when I try it. I am not into homemade cakes anymore.
