Yellow Cake Mix Hacks

The great thing about making cake mix is that you can literally use it for so many fun desserts!

Don’t limit yourself to just cake – think cupcakes, and unique treats, too.

Cake mix is also a great way to prep and have an easy cake mix recipe ready to use anytime that you’re ready to bake!

This will save you time from having to run to the store and spend money on cake mixes there that are on the shelves.

I also think that giving a jar full of homemade cake is a really awesome gift idea, too!

Just put the ingredients together in a cute mason jar with a fun cake mix recipe attached, and just like that, you’ve created a thoughtful and tasty treat!

How to Store Homemade Cake Mix

Once you mix together the ingredients for this simple cake mix, you just need to store it in a jar with a lid or a bag that you can seal. You don’t have to use it right away, which is great!

You can also store it in your fridge or in a place that is out of the heat and sun in your house. I like having it in the fridge, but that is just my personal preference.

Have fun making this cake mix. It’s a fast and easy way to whip up something that you can bake into a sweet treat to share with others!
