2943.0. "CAKE BATTER: How Long Will It Keep?" by CGVAX2::GALPIN () Mon Mar 04 1991 16:01

         I hope someone can help me on this.  My son's birthday is this
    Friday (March 8).  I plan on making cupcakes for a Thursday's party at
    his sitter's house and a cake for Friday for the family party.  Both of
    these will be made out of the same batch (box mix).  My question is:
    
         How do I keep the batter for the cake only good?  I want to only
    make the cupcakes on Wednesday night and the cake on Thursday night so
    that it will be fresh.  There will be raw eggs in the batter so I don't
    want it to spoil.
    
         Thanks.
    
    Diane

2943.1	or am I missing something?	PENUTS::DDESMAISONS		`Mon Mar 04 1991 16:17`	5
	If you're making these from a box mix, can't you measure out half or whatever portion of the mix you need for the cupcakes and just make those up separately?
2943.2	Use only 1 box at a time	ELWOOD::CHRISTIE		`Mon Mar 04 1991 16:50`	5
	One box mix doesn't have enough for cupcakes AND a cake. It's either 12 (sometimes 6) cupcakes or one cake. Linda
2943.3	Freeze?	CUPMK::CLEMINSHAW	Conanne	`Tue Mar 05 1991 11:14`	4
	How about baking them at the same time, and freezing one? It stays fresher that way, and you wouldn't have to bake twice. P.
2943.4	1 box is plenty	SCARGO::GALPIN		`Tue Mar 05 1991 11:39`	7
	RE: .2 The type of mix I have makes 24 cupcakes or 2 8" cakes. So, I'll be making 12 cupcakes and 1 8" cake. I'll follow .3 advice. Thanks.
