What are some creative ways to use lemon cake mixes?

[lkspeir]

At Conference 3 we each received 5 Lemon Cake Mixes. Any ideas for using these aside from just making them as the instructions suggest?

They definately had a run on lemon cake - although at Conference 1 - we only received 2 boxes a piece!! I guess we'll all have to be creative

They would make good door prizes, but I'd like to put a recipe with it. Maybe someone will post a suggestion.

 

[Chef Kearns]

They are good made in the Deluxe Mini Muffin pan. You just dip the little cake in the frosting. Not very creative, but a good idea none the less. (I cannot take credit for it though)

I didn't sell any of those cake mixes, but when I made them for special occasions, everyone loved them. Make one for your next church gathering. I loved the chocolate one. I have one of those left in my pantry.

 

[lkspeir]

I'll try it in the deluxe mini pan - maybe with a lemon glaze.

It's called sunshine citrus torte and it's GOOD!!!

My SIL passed this recipe along to me yesterday.

1 lemon cake mix
1 egg
1 container of Cool Whip

Mix ingredients and then form into balls. Roll the balls in powdered sugar and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

She said these were light and delicious.

Funny how things are different for each wave. Wave 2 we got a paper that said we could have 2, but when I went up to the table they said take as many as you want, so I took like 8. It's perfect for when I supply the dessert!

 

[RachelNguyen]

I guess that is one advantage of attending wave 3... by the end of the third day, they were giving away cases. I took a couple of boxes plus had a case shipped home. (I did have to pay for that, but it still worked out to less than a dollar a box, so I felt it was a great deal.)

I am mostly going to give mine as hostess gifts for the holiday season. It'll be an incentive for people to book. I might give a lemon cake to my UPS driver too! He is delivering 14 boxes to me on Monday!

Love+

I was wave three where they were basically begging us to take it all...i though i was being smart & saving $$ by putting it all i nmy suitcase instead of shipping it right from conference...well at the airport they charged me $50 extra for having a suicase that weighed 84lbs - LOL
Oops - a hard lesson learned.

Hey Lori!!
Hubby and I were talking about you guys the night/morning we flew home. We had an 8pm flight out of O'Hare that got delayed and we didn't get home - into our own house - until 5am. As we're drifting off to sleep (and the sun is coming up) my husband rolls over & says (and I quote) "$#%!*%!* Andrea and her @#*%@#& cluster have probably been home for hours by now...and they @#^*@#* drove!!! I hate her."
LOLOL

I tried the recipeI tried the cake recipe as directed above. 1lemon cake mix 1 egg and 1 container of cool whip. They did not turn out so good they were chewey and did not come off my stone in one piece. Am I missing and ingedient or something. I would like to try again. I used the small cool whip was I suppose to use the bigger one? I was in wave three so I have plenty of cake mixes to try with LOL!!!

I've made this for parties and got good remarks on it.
I freeze my cake mixes. When there on sale I box 10 to 15 boxes.

Meeeeee too! That's exactly what I was thinking!

 

[TinasKitchen]

I know what you mean!

i though i was being smart & saving $$ by putting it all i nmy suitcase instead of shipping it right from conference...well at the airport they charged me $50 extra for having a suicase that weighed 84lbs - LOL
Oops - a hard lesson learned.

Mine was 5.5 lbs over.. not alot but I took out 3 boxes and there were 3 attendants there. They asked what I was doing w/ the boxes and I said would you like them.. they were very happy and I gave them a catalog.. not enough time to get their info. Oh well.. I tried! lol Next year I'll have to take more and have it shipped directly home!

 

[pamperedalf]

I got lucky, I was 1lb under. Good thing I didn't bring my lrg suitcase otherwise I would have been way over. All those empowering women weighed a lot!

 

[AmyLee]

Lucky you!I'm so jealous that you got Lemon Cake mixes! I was unable to go to conference and they were my favorite! I was so sad when they were discontinued! I just emailed home office to see if I can purchase any. Think they'll say yes?

 

[Chef Kearns]

I tried to get my husband to take a case of the mix. He thought the cost of shipping them would be too much. I was in Wave 1. At our Exec dinner they gave us each 2 boxes then after the final general session there was a table set out with people handing them out. At first they were only giving them to a few people and only 2 boxes each, but by the time I left McCormick they were begging us to take some. I left conference with 5 boxes and wish I had gotten more. Oh well!

Amy, where in NJ are you?

Shamong...right up 206 from Hammonton!

 

[AJPratt]

Are you new to PC? Is your director close?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Imho..... I think the tile paper napkins will be the lemon cake mix of next years conference (I just can't imagine anyone paying that much for 20 paper napkins...maybe I'm wrong!)

Well, at least they'll be cheaper to ship home - bahahaha

I started with PC last November. My recruiter is from Florence and my director is all the way in Wrightstown by Great Adventure. Kind of a hike to cluster meetings!
