Notes
Experiment with different pudding flavors like lemon or pistachio for variety. Consider adding crushed pineapple or mandarin oranges under the Cool Whip for added fruitiness. To maintain a clean look, limit color mixing when swirling the batter and aim for soft pastel shades. For a less sweet option, substitute homemade whipped cream for Cool Whip. The cake can be prepared a day in advance; just add Cool Whip and decorations before serving.
