Pour enough cake mix in a 14 x 18 inch sided greased and floured cookie sheet till it's about 1/2 full. Use the rest of the batter to make cupcakes for the kids. Bake at temperature listed on the box for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely.

Step 3: Blend 1 cup sugar, 1 stick butter or margarine and shortening with a mixer and add milk/flour mixture. Beat 3 to 4 minutes until fluffy. Spread on cake and refrigerate.

Using mixer, add confectioners sugar and mix until creamy (just a few seconds). Spread topping over white topping very delicately. Refrigerate till topping is hardened. Yum!
