I almost forgot to let everyone know how things went!
OK, first of all you have to understand that nothing can be easy here at this house... things are always crazy.......
I started with the "Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake" (trade mark cake)
It says to make it in an 11x17 inch pan. Well we didn't have a pan of that size. My thought was to make it in a couple smaller pans since I have lots of the glass ones.......... well, my mom said that I should make it on the cookie sheet type pan (jelly roll style, 1" sides) since the pan is like 14x17 or something like that. She thougth this way it could serve more. Ok, the pan is bigger which makes it thinner, shouldn't have to bake as long... good to go.
Well, as I am pouring it into the pan I think to myself, "self, it doesn't look like this is all going to fit... maybe we should put some in another pan and the kids can all try it" good thinking self. The sheet was filled about 1/2 way up. I put the goods in the oven and set the timmer. Well I decide to take a look at it to see how things are going and the cake is up over the sides about an inch! It looks like it's going over the edge. I can't leave well enough alone so I try and pull it from the back wall where it looks like it's touching. When I do that, it spills over all edges!
What a mess, so I decide to just leave it alone, like I should have in the first place and it finishes baking and I pull it out of the oven, it looks good and smells good, but the pan is a bit of a mess. I cut the over spill off and put the frosting on and the thing looks pretty good!
One down, one to go! Then I went on to make the Cracker Barrel cake... that one went pretty smooth. But the frosting was really runny and there seemed to be tons of it! But it looked good as well.
So then my mom and dad came to pick them up so she can take them with her tomorrow and she see's how the big one turned out and says that she will take both of them, but thinks that the big one is going to be enough after all! So looks like tomorrow night we will be having some coke cake!
All and all, the oven isn't that bad. All that is spilled should just scrape out of there since the oven was on all afternoon! Since I made the 2nd cake and then put dinner in there, it was on for hours!
I'll update again tomorrow afternoon after the cake is served and let you know what everyone says!
The kids and I did try the edges that I cut off, it was alright... It really has a cinnamon taste, I like cinnamon, but it was almost over powering. We do have a small cake from the Coca-cola cake since I did think there was to much to go into that pan! But will save it till at least Friday when daddy comes home from his TDY!
There are variations listed also. 
PEPSI!! But am very interested in how this will turn out!
