I'm baking a box mix cake.

******************
On one of my many trips to Borders bookstore to copy recipes
out of their cookbooks (cheapskate!), I picked one up on cakes
and was surprised to find that all the recipes called for a cake
mix. I found this puzzling until I looked closer at the title and
discovered that it was not THE CAKE DOCTOR, but instead
THE CAKE MIX DOCTOR.

My mother used to make a delicious red cake, and I'm not
sure if she made it from scratch or not. I know she did add a
lot of red dye to it. It was iced with a white icing that I would
guess involved cream cheese. She always made one for my
birthday because I liked them so much.
