I was surprised to find that the cake mix I purchased resulted in a much shorter cake. Upon further inspection, I realized that the box appeared smaller than usual. After researching online, I discovered that the product size had indeed been reduced. I am upset by this unexpected change and the fact that my cake did not turn out as expected. I have been a loyal user of Duncan Hines for 40 years and even used to make wedding cakes that received high praise. While I no longer bake professionally, I planned to make a birthday cake for my granddaughter and was disappointed by the outcome. It was frustrating to experience this issue, especially since I had only purchased one mix. Thank you for your attention to this matter. A dissatisfied customer.

I was disappointed to find that the amount of mix in the box has been reduced. Recently, when baking a cake for Easter, I realized there was barely enough batter to fill an 8-inch pan, making it challenging to spread evenly. This is frustrating and embarrassing. I feel that requiring three boxes instead of the usual two for a two-layer cake is excessive and misleading. I have discussed this issue with two family members who share my concerns about the product changes. We have collectively decided to avoid purchasing this product as it no longer meets our needs. Baking a cake should be simple and straightforward, and these changes have unnecessarily complicated the process.

I preferred your previous Angel Food cake mix over the current one. The old two-step formula always resulted in a high rising cake that tasted homemade. The new one-step formula has a chemical taste to me, possibly from baking powder. I have tried it a few times but do not enjoy it. I wonder why you changed the mix and if you plan to bring back the old version. I would be willing to pay more for the original mix as I found it superior.

I recently bought a box of Duncan Hines Double Fudge Brownie Mix, but unfortunately, the fudge packet was missing from the box. As a result, I ended up with just regular brownies instead of the double fudge version. The instructions clearly stated the need for the fudge packet before adding it to the dry mix, but it was nowhere to be found. I have included the scanned message code from the package for reference: [redacted]. Carol I. 11 Green Leaf Ln Covington, LA [redacted] [redacted]
