I just opened my shop the first of August. Business has been booming! I have been running to Wally World for DH but was wondering....isn't there a bulk cake mix out there that you can just measure out and use instead of opening all those boxes!

I have 2 Kitchen Aid's....1 5 quart professional and the new 6 quart. So I don't have a Hobart or large industrial mixer. Any help would be appreciated.

you might trydawn dist. that is who my shop uses and they are very good

Southernbelle I am in the planning stage of opening could you tell me the name of some dist. you may be using. You can also pre make your cake mixes so all you have to do is measure. I usually put at least 6 cake mixes 12 cups flour 12 cups sugar 3tsp salt together to have ready on busy days.

http://www.dawnfoods.com/ Dawn foods carries tons of bulk mixes that are pretty good. Pilsbury also carries larger boxes of cake mix (I think that they are like 5 mixes in one box).

just a word of caution. I would see if you can get a sample of these larger cake mixes before you start using them all the time. Make sure they are up to the same taste/quality your current cakes are. Not all cake mixes are created equal.

Also, have you contacted DH directly to see if you can purchase large amounts from them at a discounted rate? Or maybe your local grocer can place a special order for you and give you a discounted rate?

anyone ever hear of a wholesale club like SAMS selling a case of cake mixes??

I've never seen cake mixes at Sam's.

The Sam's does carry bulk muffin, cookie, and cinnamon bun mixes, etc. from Krusteaz, and others, but not cake mixes.

HTH

I haven't done this yet myself, but WalMart (at least mine) will place a special bulk order for you on mixes, among other things, and give you a better price than what they are on the shelf! That still doesn't solve your "box" issue, but it will help your wallet a little!

thanks debi...good idea
