I'm not a big SpongeBob fan. I'll just leave it at that. But I am a big softie & I have a special place in my heart for kids. So I'm willing to put aside my personal feelings to make them happy. And this is why I was up until after midnight last night decorating this cake. I like that you can't look at it up close & personal & see all my mistakes. It looks fine from far away. But the best part of the cake isn't the decorating or the frosting, it's the cake itself. Several years ago, I came across this recipe for moist chocolate cake & now it's the only one I use. You can make many "flavors", just choose a pudding flavor that compliments the cake. Moist Cake:
1 cake mix
1 cake mix
1 pkg. instant pudding
4 eggs
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. water
Mix ingredients together until well blended. (I often use a hand-mixer for this.) Batter will be thick. Pour into a greased 9x13" pan & bake @ 350 degrees for about 30 min. or until a toothpick insterted in the center comes out clean. Cool & serve. My kids love a "lighter" frosting & one of our favorites is a mixture of instant pudding mixed w/ CoolWhip. Enjoy!

It looks so good! You are getting to be quite the cake decorator. I saw it up close and personal and it looked great!! I might have to hire you for Addison's next cake. Thanks for keeping her this evening...we really appreciate your willingness to watch her!
Another great looking cake. Yum. I'm not a big Sponge Bob fan and thankfully my kids don't like him either. But my dad likes SB so last year my mom bought him a SB cake. The party was at my house so my mom gave us the leftover SB plates and napkins but the kids refused to use them!
