Growing up, Ms. Crocker and Mr. Hines were VIP's - Very Important Packages - at our house.  Before Justin & Andy's schlong song, this is what you wanted in a box. These easy-bake cakes ensured every occasion had frosted treats.  No event was too small. Dance recital? Funfetti.  An A essay from D-minus Decker? German Chocolate.  My sister discovered that adding more oil than directed created exceptionally moist cakes; now a bake-from-scratch maven, it was her first glimmer of pastry prowess.
