I also prefer DH because it has more batter and because I've used the others and have a lot of difficulity with tthe white cakes when I'm just using them straight out of the box and not doctoring. When I'm putting the buttercream on, it pulls the cake off the sides. Seems like they are harder to handle, they tend to fall apart eaiser. I've had so much trouble with this that I have decided to always use the WASC recipe when I have to make a white cake.

Pillsbury all the way for me, I use to use DH till they did something to it, (that in my opinion) kind of gave it texture almost like corn bread. Everyone here just hated it, so I went to PB and have stayed with it.

Oh, I will use BC french vanilla, I like it the best.

I agree on this one, i do not like the texture of Duncan Hines at all, i have had to drive 75 miles before to get my pillsbury white mixes, because there was none in town anywhere, I will not use anything except Pillsbury.

If I use a mix, I prefer DH, PB is just too airy for my taste.

I love Pillsbury. I've tried white, chocolate, strawberry and yellow and I think they are delicious just as is- no doctoring.

I have never had an issue w/DH. My cakes are moist and texture is wonderful whether or not I add extras to it or not. My second choice is PB except for their strawberry. I find it sickly sweet and funny after taste. I will not use BC. I bought some when they were on sale and every cake from them were a cornbread type texture.
