Answer 2

What I would do is just buy a cake mix from the store and follow the directions. You can get any decorations that you want from the cake or you can simply get frosting and put it on there the way you like. If I gave you a recipe it may be too complicated but if you want it let me know.

Answer 3

This cake is a family favorite and doesnt last long....
It is quick and easy....

Pig Out Cake

1 yellow cake mix
1 can manadarin oranges, undrained
1/2 c. oil
4 eggs

Icing:
12 oz coolwhip
1 sm. pkg instant vanilla pudding
1 lg can crushed pineapple, undrained

Combine cake ingredients and mix well. Bake in rectangle pan at 350' for 30 minutes or until inserted tooth pick comes out clean. Combine icing ingredients and spread on cooled cake.

Answer 4

If this is your first time making a cake I also suggest you use a packet cake mix. One with all the ingredients AND a frosting inside the packet. When you feel a little more adventurous you might like to use the packet mix and add some little touches of your own. After that, you can either puchase or look on the internet for an easy cake to make. Don't be disheartenend if it doesn't work the first time. Cooking takes practice. Good luck xxx

Answer 7

Use the recipe that Kim a, just listed. It sounds delicious and it's different so I can bet she won't have another cake like that. Your school sounds so nice, I wish I would get a bunch of cakes on my birthday!!

Answer 8

Just try a box cake and canned frosting. It will be the easiest. Or it doesnt really have to be cake... you could bake birthday brownies (I love brownies). The box ones are just fine. I add chocolate chips to mine.

Answer 9

Betty Crocker box cake...doesn't take very long at all, and tastes like homemade. I make them all the time for work and always get compliments! If you want to go the extra mile, then go to Michaels and get some decorations to top it off. =) They have a special cake aisle. Have fun!!
