My fave was the "flashback" skits when they had child actors playing them as kids. Maybe I'll make this cake for mom and we'll watch some old episodes on YouTube together while pigging out.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706090600025187909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-62210968138300209532013-10-09T17:44:54.440-07:002013-10-09T17:44:54.440-07:00Adam, after your ordeal making Lemon Fluff, I have...Adam, after your ordeal making Lemon Fluff, I have to tip my hat to you. You're a caker trooper. Glad you enjoyed the cake! I don't know if they still sell pudding cake mixes. Does anyone else know? I'll check the next time I'm at No Frills. For 8 ounces, you're looking at about half the tub of Cool Whip. But you can never have too much icing, in my humble opinion.Brian Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779793839672812019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-46671138058273706152013-10-09T08:43:34.300-07:002013-10-09T08:43:34.300-07:00I made this last night and I now know why it's...I made this last night and I now know why it's called "pig out" cake as I ate more than half of it in the night. <br />I have some questions though, where the heck do you find yellow pudding cake? I couldn't. Also what is 8 oz? I bought a one litre tub of Cool Whip and added it until the bowl was full, about 2/3 of the litre, then stirred. It seemed to make A LOT of icing, I think I'll have enough left over to make another cake. What did you do with all the icing, or is 8 oz like a tablespoon or something?dunnadamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261065134094212504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-35064428797167848312013-10-07T19:30:41.573-07:002013-10-07T19:30:41.573-07:00Polly, any time you want to go to Branson on the H...Polly, any time you want to go to Branson on the Harley, you just let me know.

In my opinion, it doesn't revival the mushy decadence of Pineapple Cream Cake or Idiot Cake (both are searchable on the blog), but the mandarin pieces were a nice, citrusy touch.
