["My blog also has directions for a from-scratch yellow cake, which is yumm-o but obviously not quite as easy as the mix.", "The choice of nuts, pudding and kind of rum is yours. I've used vanilla pudding and vanilla rum, and banana pudding with vanilla rum, and they are both lovely. But there are also banana rums, coconut rums, etc, etc. Have fun with it! Walnuts pair well with banana, and pecans pair well with anything.", "I really, really wanted to post my recipe in Pirate, like I did on my blog, but I restrained myself, haha! Seriously, I think it was my favorite post to do of all-time, I had way too much fun converting it to Pirate. If you want to see it in Pirate, and/or read a bit about Pirate history, check out the \"Related Blog Link\""!! Yo ho!""
