"This showstopper dessert relies on convenience foods for speed, but the taste says: 'I slaved'," says Gayle Holdman of Highland, Utah. "It's perfect for entertaining because it's quick, make-ahead, so delicious and feeds a crowd. I'm always being asked for the recipe." GAYLE'S TIP: Try changing the cake, pudding or topping flavors for endless variations. Examples? Chocolate cake with white chocolate pudding and crushed peppermint candy. Or white cake with lemon pudding and blueberries. Or chocolate cake with butterscotch pudding and toasted coconut and pecans...see what I mean?
