Now that the Holidays are over… are you feeling a little low? With January's wacky weather, Polar Vortex and all, are you looking for something to celebrate? That's the way my family was feeling so, we busted out one of our favorite Pillsbury Baking mixes and got a little creative and made a…
It was ooey-gooey sweet messy goodness right on a plate. Our goal was not to create the most beautiful cake, but to make a cake that could transport us to somewhere warm and inviting full of fun memories. We thought that sitting in front of a campfire and toasting up some s'mores was the perfect inspiration!
We started with two boxes of Pillsbury Moist Supreme Dark Chocolate Cake Mix and then went to town trying to create the perfect S'mores Cake.
This is how it ended up… Dark Chocolate Cake with a chocolate ganache and marshmallow graham cracker butter cream filling then topped with more ganache and fresh homemade marshmallow was piped on top and then toasted. YUM!!
I will have the full recipe in a few days because… Pillsbury and I would LOVE to send you some baking inspiration first!
