About

Some people dream of lavish vacations, cars, or houses, but we have something a little different on our minds. Dream Cake is constantly on replay, and we are very excited about it. Starting with a yellow cake mix, we've added some creamy sour cream and a bit of rich vanilla extract that makes this cloud of a cake the moist-est one you'll ever eat! Dusted with a little confectioners' sugar, Dream Cake is just that; a dreamy dessert to feed your guests or to keep in the wings just for yourself. Don't sleep on this one... cake is better when awake! Sweet dreams, everyone!
