Whatever happened to bundt cake mixes?
BamaVol Jr #1 had a birthday today. We'll celebrate this weekend. He asked for a bundt cake. I found lots of recipes on the internet, but the grocery store no longer sells bundt cake mixes. I love to cook, but I hate to bake.
And why can't I buy a vienetta anymore?

don't regular cake mixes give directions for cooking in a bundt pan?
You might try someplace like Williams Sonoma

You'll end up less aggravated following a recipe with ingredients you already have on hand than hunting down a mix.

I'll try Target. Miss BamaVol works there. If they have one, she can find it. What I was hoping to find was the kind with an interior ring of gooey filling. I didn't find any promising recipes.

All sorts of good food items get discontinued. here is a list that even includes the late lamented Jello 123.

As long as I live, I will never forget the bundt cake scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Everytime I hear the words "bundt cake" I start laughing.

As for Viennetta, I actually once emailed Breyer's about that a few years ago. IIRC, it's no longer sold in the US. I was totally bummed. I have heard rumors of viennettas popping up here and there on occasion, but never have been so lucky as to encounter one myself.

I've made this recipe numerous times (http://www.aarpmagazine.org/food/rec...59351159985446) numerous times for family and and given it to friends. One nice thing is it can be frozen but I don't know of an occasion where there was any left to freeze

If not in the US, then how close? If I had to pop up to Canada every once in a while, I just might do so.
