Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Icing and winter storm up north



 I made a Betty Crocker Supermoist Chocolate Fudge Cake mix with Betty Crocker Buttercream Icing.  It is sooo good!  Of course it came together very quickly being a cake mix with pre-made icing.

There was a terrible winter storm this past Saturday up north in cottage country.  125 cm of snow in Bracebridge, 140 cm in Gravenhurst.  Friends got caught in this, they had not experienced this kind of weather in decades.  The main highway was closed all day.  Rescue supplies were being distributed to stranded drivers by snowmobile according to the news, not to mention power outages in the area.  We have been spoiled in the past few years.  It is good for the skiers anyway.

Mi dispiace per i vostri amici che sono rimasti intrappolati dalla tempesta.

That (not your cake) sounds terrible! It warmed up a bit here and I soon will bake pizza muffins and onion cake for the Christmas-Party tomorrow.

Oh, so nice. Glad you guys didn't get hit. There have been some freaky storms this year. Mostly, ours have been in the spring and summer. We just haven't been having the snowfalls like we used to in the midlands, but you just never know when that might change. All the best to you during your winter.

The cake looks great, but Canada is way too cold for me.

That cake reminds me of when my daughter was young. We used a lot of cake mixes. 😊
