Make Something New

Autumn Swirl Cake with Maple Bacon Frosting was perfect for Thanksgiving Dinner. We always have pumpkin and cherry pie but this year when I saw that Duncan Hines had a New Autumn Velvet Cake Mix out, I knew I was going to make this cake for Thanksgiving. Of course we also had the traditional pumpkin pie. After all, no Thanksgiving Dinner is complete without pumpkin pie!

Maple Bacon Frosting

Betty Crocker has a New Limited Edition Frosting out at the same time called: Maple Bacon Frosting. I knew the minute I saw this frosting, I was going to give it a try! At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect with this frosting but this frosting is awesome! It has a wonderful maple flavor and the bacon flavored sprinkles were very subtle. Giving the finished cake a light smoky flavor.

I decided to make Duncan Hines Autumn Velvet cake mix and frost the cake with Betty Crocker Maple Bacon Frosting. Topping the whole frosted cake with chopped mini Snickers Candy Bars was the cherry on top! I updated this recipe recently when I saw in the check out aisle and new flavor of Snickers candy bars, Maple flavor!! Jack-pot!
