Good Taste: warm, flip, serve {ps don’t forget the cake}

This post brought to you by Private Selection. All opinions are 100% mine.


What can be better than homemade cake still warm from the oven? I love making cakes – for a family treat, or a dessert to take school events or gatherings with friends. But lately, I’m finding I have less and less time to whip up a cake even one from a mix.

Store-bought cakes are great in a pinch but you still can’t beat that warm-from-the-oven sensation.



Now we can enjoy that oven fresh quality even when I’m pressed for time, had a hectic day or just not in the baking mood. Private Selections^TM Upside Down Cakes make is super easy to serve up a gourmet-quality dessert. They come in three delicious flavors: German Chocolate Fudge – a classic combination of caramel, pecans and coconut; Double Chocolate Molten – made with real butter, eggs, milk and the finest sweet chocolate; and Amber Honey Apple Slice – sliced apples topped with an amber honey glaze.

All you do is warm, flip…

and serve! You can’t beat that. And it’s worth mentioning again, you can’t beat that warm-from-the oven first bite. That’s so important to me. Probably because my mother baked cakes all the time while I was growing up and I loved smelling the cake baking and the anticipation of that first bite.




Once your cake is out of the oven, flip it onto a pretty cake stand for added pizzazz. DIY cakes stands are so easy to make and there’s no shortage of cake stand inspiration on Pinterest or around the blog-o-sphere. Here’s a little round up of cake stands you could make to serve up your Upside Down Cake.
