- Sheet Cake! It will feed everyone nicely and I would probably do a marble cake....that way no one can complain about the flavor. I would do a homemade buttercream too....white with whatever coloring you want.
- How about a Red Velvet cake? Or a cake that is my sister's favorite called Better than sex cake.
- Do a half sheet cake, that way it feeds everyone a medium piece of cake and there isn't much left. You can get one at your nearest bakery, shoppers, or giant for a pretty good price. I suggest Shoppers because they tend to be cheaper.
- a good one
- You can make a round 8 or 9 inch or a half sheet. This will feed your 12 people comfortably. Red Velvet, Chocolate, German Chocolate, Lemon, Banana Cakes all great.
- The following are quick, easy and fantastic cakes: Coconut Pound Cake 1 pkg. Yellow cake mix 1 small pkg. Coconut Instant Pudding 4 eggs 1 cup water 1/3 cup of oil ½ cup shredded coconut 1.Mix all ingredient in a large mixing bowl on low until blended 2.Beat on High for an additional 2 minutes 3.Pour batter into a greased Bunt pan 4.Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. 5.Cool in pan for 25 minutes 6.Remove and allow to continue to cool on rack. 7.Dust top of cake with powdered sugar or glaze Banana Instant Pudding and Walnuts or Lemon Instant Pudding may be used in place of Coconut Instant Pudding and shredded coconut. CHOCOLATE MAYONNAISE CAKE 1 pkg. chocolate cake mix (with pudding) 1 c. of mayonnaise 1 c. water 3 eggs Confectioners sugar (dusting cake only) In large mixing bowl, blend all ingredients at low speed for 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides of pan. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove and cool completely. dust with confectioners sugar.
