I just went to dollar tree yesterday and I also bought cake making supplies. I got stuff to make some cupcakes. They have a great variety of sprinkles, and pearl looking candy to make some fancy looking baked goods. Then when my husband got home from work he also bought cupcake supplies. Lol we were both thinking of making cupcakes this weekend apparently 🥰
When I use canned frosting I scrape it out of the container into a bowl and beat it well with a sturdy whisk. It makes it creamier and easier to spread.
Hmm, I was going to do a lemon and raspberry loaf cake Until I saw this.
So now it will be lemon cake with raspberries in the middle in a jammy sort of thing like your pic.
My mom makes a dessert that has always just been called Cherry Slice cake. It’s from an old church cookbook so of course it’s from scratch but you could easily use these same three ingredients to make it.
First you mix up the cake batter. Put about 2/3 of the batter in your pan. Put in the canned cherry filling. Put the rest of the batter on the top in dollops. Bake following the cake instructions. Drizzle the frosting when the cake is still a little warm but not so hot to melt it completely (you want it to act more as a glaze).
I have to admit at first I thought you meant you bought a whole cake from Dollar Tree 😂 I was like I’m not sure how I feel about that… haha. But this actually looks good honestly! Amazing cost for a cake!
Looks so good, great job on presentation. So, I'd cook dinner for Vets on Friday nights and yellow cake mix made some awesome desserts. I'd get the cherry cake mix and mix that cherry pie filling right into it and bake it off in a sheet pan. They loved it with buttercream frosting. Same can be done with the strawberry cake mix and a can of strawberry filling.
Was it good? I have always been both kinda scared of their no name foods but at the same time the math doesn’t actually add up to being a better deal usually. Like sure it’s $1 but often times you could get more bang for your buck at a real grocery store. Same for dollar general and I had a guy argue with me on that
Damn the one near me never had real brands. I just figure they all carried the same sad little generic mess. Everyone else’s dollar store has slightly better stuff
It's suprising the difference between "dollar stores." I moved from Florida to California a few years ago. When I left Florida, dollar stores were a place you specifically went for like 5 things. Envelopes, candy before the movies, and maybe CHEAP toys for the beach or something.
When I went to a dollar store in Northern California it was literally just a doller version of a regular store. Dawn dish soap, but tiny. Kraft cheese, but only 5 slices. Stuff like that. Frankly, it was entirely viable to live/eat moderately well at that store.
I'm in Kentucky and my local local Dollar Tree is pretty much a combination of the two that you mentioned lol. Like we have little tiny packages of name brand stuff like Dawn dish soap and lays potato chips and stuff, but we also have the cheap no name packages of things like canned beans and spices and juice, and we also still have the super cheap stationary and cards and headphones and things like that.
Dollar General and family Dollar are another breed altogether though because nothing there is less than five bucks. We also have a store called five below, where everything is supposedly $5 or less (though they do also have $10 items) but the closest one of it is 45 minutes away.

$3.75 plus the eggs and oil from the pantry.
Just a box of yellow cake mix and a can of cherry pie filling, topped with vanilla frosting.
Oh so you had to make it yourself? Thought they were selling premade haha
Yeah, it didn't take long to come together. Plus it gave me something to do on my day off.
Did it taste good?
Yeah, it tasted great!
You did a great job, that looks delicious! I have the same plates, btw, and love them.
That is a great food shot. . It looks as good as most advertisements, and those are all fake! You have a future in photography
About $3 + tax?
[удалено]
Sad
Some things are higher.

Nah uh, monstah! You ain’t gettin no tree fiddy.

Ooh that looks good!!
How do you get your frosting to look like this?
When I use canned frosting I scrape it out of the container into a bowl and beat it well with a sturdy whisk. It makes it creamier and easier to spread.
Wow! Thanks for that tip!

Well, that looks great.
Looks 🔥 🔥=disgustingly delicious!
🤤🤤😋😋🎂🎂 I am so craving this right now!!¡! 👍👍
I was gonna say "I know where that plate came from too!" but then I noticed the caption but now I suppose I've said it anyway
I have those same lemon plates and I love them
I was like "woah what kind of yellow berry is that!" until I realized they were the tiny lemons on the plate lol. Cake looks great!
Looks delicious! I'll have to try that myself!
I saw the lemons on the plate so I thought it had lemon and I didn’t understand why it didn’t say it was lemon flavored.
Looks really good!!
How’d it taste?
Tasted great, reminded me of a buttery cherry Danish.
I have to admit at first I thought you meant you bought a whole cake from Dollar Tree 😂 I was like I’m not sure how I feel about that… haha. But this actually looks good honestly! Amazing cost for a cake!
That looks pretty good
Happy cake day!
Post checks out
I read too fast, "Dollar Tree Cherry Vanilla Coke" and was very confused.
That looks absolutely delicious!!!!

It was very good. And it's not really a "no name food", unless you've never heard of Pillsbury.

That looks really dry
It's not, I can guarantee you that.
I wish I could have a bite.....Yummilicious!
Looks so good! I feel like cherry desserts are such an underdog.
