Personal Notes:
You can follow the same recipe but can use different cake mixes and pudding and various alcohol combinations. Sometimes Pookie’s would do chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and subsitute Amaratto for the rum. She also would subsitute Grand Mariner in both the yellow cake and chocolate cakes for variety.
