One thing I always do is add about 3/4-1 Tbs of almond extract to the choc mixes along w/some mini choc chips tossed w/some dry cake mix.

I also add crushed oreos to the white mix.

and this frosting is great on yellow cakes-

1/2 c butter
1/2 c caramel ice cream topping
3 Tbs heavy whipping cream
1 c sliced almonds
1 c flaked coconut
1 c swirled chocolate & caramel Morsels

Melt butter over med-low heat. Stir in caramel topping and cream. Stir in almonds and coconut.
Turn heat to med and bring to full boil.
Boil 5 minutes or til thick(but still spreading consistency)stir constantly.
Carefully spread mixture over cake straight out of oven. Sprinkle morsels over cake while still hot.
Cool completely.

:happy dance:

I like to substitute berry juicy juice for the water when making the strawberry flavored cake.
I add extract as well to the mix
I'll use cake mix to make cookies

~Easy Cake mix cookies~
1 box any flavor cake mix
1/2 c. vege oil
2 eggs

Preheat oven 350'. Mix all ingredients together. Drop on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly browned.

I recently found a recipe that is really good. First you bake the cake and than you pour three different milks over it and let it soak in. It is really good. Not real soggy. It makes it sweet, so than we have been just putting cool whip on it with strawberries. If interested, I will find the recipe and post it.
Other things I do is use cake mixes to make brownies and bar treats. Have never used one for cookies, but I will have to give that a try next time.
