which cake mix is the best to be used when making cakes

I like the pillsbury and bettycrocker, the dark choc. pillsbury to me tastes wonderful, like a homemade choc. cake, love that flavor the best. and I use betty crocker super moist yellow butter cake one too when need too.

i've used all three and find that duncan heinz is the most moist.

The duncan hines butter cake tastes the most homemade and is very moist

I prefer Duncan Hines too.

Duncan Hines!!!!!

Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge and french vanilla are my favorites.

my vote is for Duncan Hines Classic White and for Chocolate, I use the Devil's Food. Get more compliments than others that use other brands...

Betty Crocker!!! We sort of had to as my Dad worked for 45+ years at General Mills and we weren't allowed the competition in the house. LOL. I haven't tried the other brands but I can tell you that I have always got lots of compliments by family and friends over my doctored chocolate and white cakes.

i like duncan hines. not only are most of their cake mixes trans fat free, but if you look on the box wilton it says "as recommended in wilton method cake decorating schools."

duncan hines

Duncan Hines - the most moist!

Pillsbury, with Betty Crocker coming in a close 2nd.

I've tried DH, but even with my "doctored" recipes, these come out too light & spongy for any kind of carving/leveling. I prefer a more dense cake for stacking.

i agree with the sponginess making it harder to carve. i use duncan hines for colossal cups because the more dense cakes tend to be too heavy for the cupcake shaping and icing.

i recently started using WASC for stacking and tiering. it's awesome. LOTS of compiments on that recipe!

another DH fan here.

my fav: do the extended & enhanced recipes together (sort of a WASC on steroids)

but.... use 2 parts DH butter yellow to 1 part DH French Vanilla.

I like Betty Crocker (said in an English accent).

I had stopped using Duncan Hines many years ago. To me it tasted different and I didn't like it. I recently tried the butter flavor duncan Hines and it was pretty good. However, I use Pillsburry because I can get it MUCH cheaper than Duncan Hines. The most I pay for Pillsburry is $1 per box and I think Walmart has it even cheaper.

Duncan Hines, For me too all the way

Did you really think you would get an answer to your ? that would lead you to THE one? LOL!

I have always been and will always be a Betty fan.

Taught a cake decorating class 4 years ago, in the 1st class I prepare all three brands plus an aldi's brand. They all were yellow cakes. Since I doctor all my cake mix cakes. I prepare them all the same way. They had to sample each brand. To my surprise they chose the Aldi's. Go figure, because I'm a DH lover.

Put me down in the Duncan Hines column. Although, by the time I add all the doctoring it probably wouldn't make a difference what I used.

Duncan Hines!!
Try the Coconut & French Vanilla together
