My Take on the ProductsI have a sweet tooth! Yes, I admit it, I do have a sweet tooth and I like to quench it when I can. Thus, when I was asked to try out these new Duncan Hines Cake Mixes, I was quite excited. Thus, last weekend I was able to try these as we were having friends over and we needed to have some sweets to include in the get-together.

In making the mixes we made both cupcakes and a cake, and I was impressed at how easy the mixes were to make. I also was impressed with how well the mixes mixed together. The overall process to put together the mixes only took a few minutes and then it was only a matter of time until we were able to try out the masterpieces.

Once they were backed we placed the glaze over both of them, and again I found these to be easy to use and they easily were applied. I even had my girls helping along the way!

The proof they say though is in the pudding, or in this case, the cakes themselves. My first impression was how moist the cake was. Many times, I have come to find cakes from boxes to be a bit dry, but these were teeming with moisture. Not that they were sopping wet, but instead, the cake was perfect. Second though was the overall flavor. The flavor just exploded in your mouth (which was a good thing).

Overall, these cake mixes as a keeper! I know that I will be looking to get these again. Next time I also want to try the Carrot Cake mix, as I am a sucker when it comes to Carrot Cake!
