An insert in my Sunday paper caught my eye;
"How to make elaborate cakes, using box-cake mix"

The pictures had me drooling,
but the price, ( 4 easy payments of $7.99 ) was a turn-off.

I recently tried one such recipe;
Yellow box cake, 4 eggs, oil, pudding,
and a few cups of diced apples.
While the toothpick said "done"
the bottom was still gooey, and half-baked.

If you're a box-cake user,
is there anything you add to make it "special" ?

( I'm NOT gonna buy the $32 book )
