This is so easy and always a big hit. There are several variations of this recipe that you can make. Try out different flavors of cake mix. . .maybe a strawberry cake mix or coconut cake mix and add coconut flakes. How about a dark chocolate cake mix and add mini chocolate chips? The flavor combinations are only as limited as your imagination!
