I have been using DH and tonight I tried Betty C. I think I like DH.. It much more moist and bakes more evenly for me.

How about you? icon_biggrin.gif

I pick none, personally I think they are a lot less taste, than making them from scratch

Yep Duncan Hines...but only yellow, white, devils food, and dark chocolate so far are the ones I've successfully tested. The marble kind is nasty.... I combine my own marble. For the more fancy flavors I just would probably make from scratch.

I think the BC cakes are too fluffy and break too easily.

I do like the BC pound cake mix and often mix it with a DH yellow for more stability.

Kita, that is so funny because that's what I think about DH! Fluffy and break easy!

"DH is light and fluffy but when I'm flipping a 16" cake, I prefer firm and solid," is how I always explain it.

I"ve used BC for 25 years....

That really is funny! I have always thought DH to be much more firm and solid than BC. Haha. I"ve had several BC cakes fall apart on me.

Weird!

I use Betty for most but DH for some others. I grew up with Betty, have not have problems and no one complains at all--actually none of my family or friends can tell the difference between BC or DH. icon_wink.gif

I prefer BC, but only the Chocolate Fudge and Yellow Butter.
The rest I make from scratch.

I am becoming a DH cake mix person. I used to be strictly BC but here recently I have been real happy with DH.

I made a chocolate birthday cake about three weeks ago and I used BC. This week-end I needed to use 2 cake mixes to have enough batter, so I used 1 BC and 1 DH. My friend said this cake was better than the last cake.

I can't get Dh for under $2.43 locally so I use BC, I won't buy Pilsbury no matter how cheap it is.

I've been using BC for 7 years with no problem. I use DH for strawberry, coconut, and red velvet because I can't find the BC in those flavors around here.

I prefer DH. The texture is so much better that the BC.

I use DH normally, but I bought up all the stores DH and still wanted more white mixes for my WASC cakes and Pilsbury did just as good of a job as DH did in it...in fact I couldn't tell a difference in the WASC.
