FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Do you have to use a boxed cake mix? 

You do not have to use a boxed cake mix. You can use any yellow cake recipe in place of the boxed cake mix. 

Can you use pineapple chunks instead of crushed?

Although the recipes calls for crushed pineapple, you can use chunks if that is what you have on hand. Just chop them up a bit before placing into the recipe so you get the same consistency. 

Can I make my own whipped cream?

Yes, you do not have to use whipped topping. A homemade recipe can be used in place of the whipped topping. 

How do you store the cake?

Since this is a whipped topping frosting, you will want to place this cake in the refrigerator.
