they look like scratch cakes. I like making cakes from scratch too. good luck.

I also fix coconut cake with a base of box mix, you fix yellow cake by box directions, it will need to be an oblong cake,while cake is baking you mix a can of coco lopez (found in the drink mixers section of grocery store) with a can of sweetened condensed milk, after cake is removed from oven poke holes all around cake then pour mixture of milk and coco lopez onto cake. After cake cools completely mix some bagged coconut and cool whip together and spread on top. Of course keep refridgerated until ready for party then it will be fine on the table for several hours. This is really simple and good.

IT WILL HELP ME OUT ALOT .THANKS SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.GOD BLESS YOU AND I HOPE YOUR HOLIDAYS ARE WONDERFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
