In reply to Joanne. Yay! So happy you loved these! I actually have a yellow cake recipe on my blog that I bake in 8-inch pans, so you'll have the whole recipe and instructions in that post. Just search "yellow cake"

best yellow cake I have ever had! Any thoughts to make it in 8 inch round pans? Baking time, etc?

I made this recipe and the cake is delicious but it only made 18 cakes – not 26 as the recipe states.

In reply to Anna Beack. Using this recipe, the cake batter will fill a half sheet pan but will be a thin cake or you can bake it in a 9x13" pan.

I would like to make a large singular cake for a youth event at my church. What is your recommendation for that? Thanks!

In reply to Cara. Thank you! I will try that method this year!

In reply to Lezlie. I would say try using the double boiler method to melt the chocolate! You put the chocolate in a bowl and put that bowl in a pot of boiling water. You can dip the cakes while the chocolate is on the water and it'll keep it warm so it doesn't melt!

In reply to Laura Baker. You can but it will change the texture a little. For a healthier oil option, you can swap for coconut oil or avocado oil.

Is there a way to substitute the oil for something? Can I just use more butter?

How do I keep the white chocolate from hardening while in the dipping process?

In reply to Michelle. Yes you can. I would reduce the GF flour by 1/4 cup so you still get a fluffy light texture.

Thank you so much for this recipe! Do you think I could sub gluten free flour ( King Arthur 1:1 blend) in the cake recipe?

In reply to Ashley. Works the same!

I just made the trees/whipped cream and about to dip in white chocolate. I’m wondering how should I store these? In the fridge or at room temperature?

I can’t afford to buy the e-z gel. If I use the gelatin, how would that work when subbing it? I am not experienced with gelatin. Thanks so much! I’m really excited to try this recipe.

In reply to Julie. My chocolate cake from my Twix cake. It's a little firmer than my dark chocolate cake.

In reply to Mary Lasher. I’d like to make these several days before I need them. What’s the best point to freeze? After assembling but before dipping? Or after fully made and decorated? Can’t wait to try them!

Is there a chocolate cake recipe you’d recommend in place of the yellow? We like chocolate cake better at our house

In reply to Brittany. Yep!

Hi,
Could I use gluten free APF instead of cake flour? And for the baking sheet, do I just use a standard sheet pan, will this work? Thank you!! looks so good!

Help! I bought Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers. I melted it in a double boiler it melted fine but after the fourth tree it started to harden and It’s too thick to dip anymore. I don’t know what I did wrong but now I have all these trees and nowhere to dip them in chocolate

In reply to Melanie. I recommend Callebaut or Guittard for chocolate. I like to use a double boiler for melting the chocolate evenly and without burning it, especially white chocolate

I am so excited to try this out! I do have a question, what is a top white chocolate brand that is considered “good quality”! I just ask because there’s so many brands! Another question I have is, what is the best tip on how to properly cook chocolate so it doesn’t get too chunky or stiff etc. I appreciate your work and everything you do!(:
