Yellow cake mix
 
If you had to choose a widely-available yellow cake mix as a base for something, which brand would you choose? Avoid? Why?

We personally like Pillsbury Moist Supreme Classic: http://www.pillsburybaking.com/produ...ic-yellow-1294

Very moist.... and very forgiving if overbaked a bit in the oven. Always moist.

I do not like generic or store brand items when baking.

I generally won't use generic/store brand items when baking either. That said, I've not noticed a huge difference between the name brand cake mixes.

Just to be clear .... you don't eat it with a spoon, you have to make it first. :p

You can have the cake mix. I'll take the cake frosting. :D

I would rather have the sugar from the cake frosting than cake.

Of course! The batter is where it's all at.

Raw cake batter? That I would enjoy.

When we have birthday cake, I usually insist on a corner, with lots of frosting, and then try to eat the frosting and give the cake away. :D

Is this your birthday cake or are you steeling the best bits of someone else's?

I am equally considerate. I always tell my wife that the crunchy part of the baguette would not do her teeth any good. I'm thoughtful like that.

Yellow cake mix
 
My family members swear by Betty Crocker cake mix as they tend to produce a much moister cake than other mixes. It also helps if one uses an airbake-type pan.

I have tried the Cake Boss brand cake mixes and they are good. IIRC, Buddy's specialties are yellow and red velvet cakes, so those should be good. However, those mixes are around $4-5, versus $1-2 for Betty Crocker mixes.

Between the name brand and what - the generic/store brand?

I think there's a rather noticeable difference there.
