| I have this really pretty glass cake dome but it is not quite big enough for the angel food cake I baked yesterday. |
 |
| so to cover it up so it won't get stale I used my biggest Farberware stock pot. It is big enough to fit over that 10 inch cake that rose even taller than its pan but it sure leaves a bit to be desired in the pretty department. We like fresh tasting cake so until I find something bigger, I'll be using this stock pot as a cake dome. The cake is made from an Aldis angel food cake mix and is really a great cake. I add just a little almond and vanilla extracts to the batter. The cake mix is a summer seasonal item according to the Aldis flyer. Are you wondering how much we like them? When we went to Aldis last week and saw they still have them in stock, we bought a flat of 16. They sell for $1.99. |
Gotta do what you gotta do! Ha Great price on the mixes, our family loves angel food cake with strawberries in the summer, yum
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike Debby, we had this cake with fresh strawberries and it was delish!
DeleteWhere there is a will, there is a way. You have certainly found it. That is the statement of my life it seems. I can imagine how great that cake must be.
ReplyDeleteit also shows my husband was with me when we shopped, he really likes that cake and he picked up the flat of 16 mixes when I told him I wanted "several"
DeleteWow, that shows that you really like that product. Hey, whatever works!
ReplyDeleteYes, doing things pretty is nice, but sometimes it is just whatever works :)

ReplyDeleteI need to share my grandmother's Angel Food Cake recipe! So delicious!
yes you should, Sharon. I am mostly a scratch cook but I have never made a scratch Angel food cake. What do you do with the yolks that are left?
DeleteYou get an A+ for coming up with a solution! I think it is fine. Your cake might not be there long enough to worry about another container! :) Good luck in finding a tall enough cake keeper. Seems all the ones I find just barely cover a regular cake. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteMy glass dome works fine for layer and bundt cakes but it won't even come close to going over that 10 inch angel cake.
DeleteI have tried Aldi's angel food cake mix and I agree, it is good. My mom once made their brownie mix and used their frosting to take to a picnic as a last minute dessert and everyone thought that it was made from scratch.
