Pillsbury Cake Redux.
This cake was inspired by a few different things…first and foremost by the cool Pillsbury products I received in the mail (that you can get too) AND by haters.
I have to admit to you, I kinda love haters.
I mean if you have people who take the time to write emails or oddball comments it means you’re important enough to them to take the time out of their day to let you know you spelled flour like “flower” or that a “snowflake actually has 8 points, not 6”.
Plus, I kinda get a chuckle when people get riled up, ya know?
Honestly, where would The Situation be if he didn’t have haters?
I can tell where he WOULDN’T be…on TV.
See, sometime haters are the fuel that pushes you forward.
Don’t get me wrong, I certainly am not going to make a career based on my rock solid abs.
But I CAN make a career making abs across the world squishy.
So this cake was inspired by a super cool person out there who said that I am the reason America is fat.
I love that I have that power. Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
So if you’re looking to get your pudge on this is for you.
Be warned, though, it’s hard core.
Like the Hustler of desserts.
Not NC-17…this is Triple X.
There’s cake, there’s brownie, there’s cookie dough, there’s vanilla frosting, there’s chocolate frosting, there are chocolate chip cookies…Gah!
It’s kinda like that weird Turducken thing people make on Thanksgiving…but with none of the same stuff…and WAY better

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

For years I’ve been told my love is fattening and dang it, I take pride in it! I love making yummy noms for my boyfriend, friends, and family ^_^ . My fiance lost his almost-6pk abs the first year we were together. Not only did I warn him but so did my father (who says I’m just like my mother) and close friend warned him to beware my fattening love lol. He sooo didn’t listen XD
Bahahaha! You’re making America fat? I love it! I must have missed the post where you hog-tied all of America to a chair and force-fed them one of your delicious concoctions. I’m Canadian, so I’m safe I guess. Phew. I just popped over to your site after my weekly drool-fest at ConfessionsofaCookbookQueen. I am now following both of you, which will significantly cut down on my productivity at work. But I have to read your posts there because I can’t jump up from my desk and immediately make what I see. The way I see it, this is the only… Read more »

Made this cake and mine looks no where near as nice as yours does. HOpe it tastes as good.
Hope so too!
This is sooo awesome hehe. I just love your blog. Im going to try to make this today the only thing Im going to do different is use Chocolate Frosting b.c I have some leftover in my fridge and its just going to waste if I dont use it 🙂 So Im doing a good thing by making this to make sure the poor frosting doesnt go to waste. You are helping save the planet with your recipies now 🙂
I would never in a million years eat that. But, I will continue to stare at it, and drool profusely.
OMG this is my kinda cake. store bought. and everything in one. LOVE
Hey!

And it was just as intense and swoon-worthy as you promised! Thank you so much for the recipe and inspiration!
I stumbled upon this cake and just had to make it for some sort of occasion! I made it for my mom’s birthday and it was a huge hit! I think I am still riding that sugar high:) Thanks for the fun recipes. Creative people, like yourself, make life more fun, enjoyable and delicious!
So glad you liked it 🙂
Oh, my goodness. This is like the birthday version of the Cherpumple!
I feel fatter and spottier just looking at it.
I'm totally late to the party, but I think you're a genius for creating this cake. I LOVE to bake (and eat what I bake). So, when I was "borderline gestational diabetic" during my pregnancy, my doctor told me I couldn't have sugar. Since then (I'm now 40 weeks, 1 day pregnant), I dream of sweets. And I have printed this recipe out, because the minute I feel up to baking again after this baby is born, THIS is what I'm making! And I doubt I'll share.
Made this cake for a party of 30 somthings and it went over like gangbusters! Everyone LOVED it! Thx so much!
Thanks for this recipe. I just made it for our Friday night group and it was delicious! Of course I made it 9×13 size so it was extra pudgy. :o)
My husband is in the kitchen this very moment making this for my birthday tomorrow!
Sweeeeeeeeeeet Laaaaaaawdy.
THIS is the reason I'm a new follower.
(And it'll make a delish end-of-the-school-year-potluck dish.)

First of all… LOVE your position on the haters – so true, so you, so I say, Bravo!
Second of all… Holy fish-sticks (sh*t)! That is an amazing cake!
I just made a 3 tiered cake for my brother-in-law's birthday, and the middle layer was this amazing thing. There were about 30 people there, (all of which are skinny minis) and they all LOVED it. I kept getting tons of compliments (which I am now forwarding on to you). 🙂 Great idea.
I so want a giant piece of that. I will resist making it until I have plenty of people to share it with. Thinking I might just wash it down with a big glass of chocolate milk.
And I pride myself on eating relatively healthily (is that even a word?!).
But we all need a treat once in a while. 😉
Thanks for the inspiration! It was a big hit. ours is here:
