I bought a 5lb bag of devils food cake mix(you just add water)The only problem is that I only want to make 2 dozen cupcakes with the mix how would I possibly divide this.

Is there any info on the bag about how many cupcakes the whole bag would make?

maybe use an ice cream scooper to measure out the cupcakes???????????

Duncan Hines mix is about 2 pounds and makes 24 cups. It is probably close to this.

The whole bag would make 72 cupcakes there is no way I need that much at one time

Why dont you just divide the mix into thirds and then use a third of the water called for. That would give you 24 cupcakes.

Well, you could just divide it in half and that would give you 36 cupcakes. So, you would have 12 extras.... Would that be too many?

Thanks alot guys
