Would make this again.
Think it would've worked if we would've had the right amount of cake mix. Boxes don't come in 18.5oz :( it was 15.something ounces. tried adding powdered sugar and flour to thicken it but it was taking forever so we poured it in a cake pan and baked it and it turned out ok, just not what we wanted. 5 stars
