Omg, wintergreen cake sounds atrocious. D:

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[koneko-wish.livejournal.com]

I came in here SPECIFICALLY to say that mint-flavored cake sounds AWFUL. Gah!!

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

Wintergreen cake sounds like an abomination of nature! *shudder*

[archanglrobriel.livejournal.com]

I wonder why they stopped making these. I would think that in the modern era, the DIY flavor kit would be a big success....if they updated the flavors of course. I can't imagine anyone ever wanting ot eat a wintergreen cake. Bleah! But spice, lemon and peppermint could be good.

How about! You put some more! Exclamation marks! In your copy! Aunt Jemima!

Also... gross.

"Fuck the colored ones"

OMG RACIST!

;-)

That's a good idea! Just use some flavorings, though... it would take a few tries to get the right amount.

I've seen worse, at least in recipe form: some years ago I ran across a recipe for an absolute monstrosity of a polychrome cake that involved taking an ordinary cake-batter recipe and dividing into five bowls. Dye four of them red, yellow, green, and blue, and put a substantial quantity of melted chocolate into the fifth. Pour the five batters, by spoonfuls, into cake pans and bake as directed. Put the layers together with whipped cream between them -- which you've dyed purple -- and then frost with ordinary buttercream dyed with BLACK paste coloring to a dark "metallic looking" gray. Even the person who wrote it up described this as "an absolute Frankenstein of a cake".

that sounds really intriguing and a great halloween cake!!

I actually made my daughter a cake like this one year when she requested a Rainbow cake, but with equally rainbow icing.

[chocoholicbec.livejournal.com]

My mum did that for my fourth birthday! Apparently she went through a whole box of liquid food colouring.

[creative-excess.livejournal.com]

Ha, I've made rainbow cake before. I think we just frosted it normal-like, though, and I don't mind a bit of food coloring now and then so long as I'm not eating fistfuls of it. Plus, it was cute!

[acksed.livejournal.com]

I can taste food colouring, so when anyone passes round rainbow cakes or muffins, I have to decline. Politely.

well i would LOVE a wintergreen cake! it sounds so refreshing!!! and a peppermint cake with chocolate frosting would be awesome too!!!

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with this. Both sound kinda great to me.

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

Inorite? I would totally make a wintergreen cake with pink frosting that looked like Pepto Bismol! But then I am very weird.

[gwenyvere4.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I love this--wish they would bring that back!

[happyhijabi.livejournal.com]

So gay! :-D

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

It's AJ's newest (and gayest) triumph!

[whoseline_wlsc]

I would go for any of those cakes, actually. Chocolate-peppermint most of all!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

The whiteness of the plain mix frightens me. What's in that? Nothing natural, surely. The lemon and spice would at least look appealing if they didn't have that white stuff all over them.

[janenx01.livejournal.com]

Yum, spice cake!

[megazoid.livejournal.com]

Those cakes are very gay.

[willowind76.livejournal.com]

Oh I want this SO bad. o_O

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Just when you think it can't get any more terrifying, they throw in the surprise packet!

[psychopathic1.livejournal.com]

...Just walk away...

[vp19.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...wintergreen cake...when you want your pastry to taste like a Life Saver!

(BTW, does anyone know when the Aunt Jemima name stopped being used for cake mixes and became solely associated with pancakes, waffles and syrup?)

And no, I'm not going to comment about "Aunt Jemima's gayest triumph." What the lady does away from the kitchen is her own business.

[xellos-otaku-21.livejournal.com]

Behold! The flamboyantly colorful cakes! Just the thing for you PFLAG meeting! ;D

Seriously, though, this is an amusingly cool idea.

[living400lbs.livejournal.com]

So...did the silver cake have vanilla flavoring? Or was it simply cake-flavored (shortening/eggs/etc).

[vix.livejournal.com]

Totally love this idea. Bring it back, Aunt Jemima!
