butterscotch cake & icing
(1 rating)
I am a baker and cake decorator, I am always looking for a way to alter mixes to make them my own! Here is one that is a favorite in my business. The meringue powder is optional, however if you plan on spliting the layers I strongly suggest using it, as it adds body to the mix. Enjoy!
