We were pretty excited to hear about these mixes coming out. I talked to my local Harmon's grocer and had him order it and call me when they came in. It was great. We ate them with some people on a normal diet as well as those of us that are gluten free. The Wheat-eaters all said that if it were served at a party, they wouldn't have suspected that anything was odd about it. They said it wasn't the best cake they had ever eaten but it was good. Translation, It's by far the best gluten free cake mix that we've tried and it is even as good or better than our cake we make from scratch.

I'm a 24 year old who's been diagnosed with Celiac disease since I was 4. We've tried a lot of recipes and most everything we make from scratch is better than the mixes we've found. This time, however, we've been defeated and we're thrilled about it.

Hi, we loved it! I've been cooking gluten free for 14 years and my husband says it is the best ever.

Here are the ingredients.
Sugar, Rice Flour, Potato starch, Cocoa processed with Alkali, Tapioca Starch, Leavening(backing soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, monocalcium, phosphate), Salt, Guar Gum. May contain Soy ingredients.

Cake was very moist and would make a great base for other kinds of cakes. German chocolate, coconut, preline, etc.

I GIVE this 2 thumbs up.!!! I used mayo instead of butter and it was wonderful.

Ever since discovering that I had Celiac disease, I have become quite thin(which is nice) and quite resigned to my sad, cakeless fate. I have tried a number gluten free cake mixes and have been profoundly disappointed by all of them. Some fall to pieces when you slice them, some are gritty, some have an awful aftertaste from the unfamiliar flours used in making them.

I was browsing the shelves at my local Target store when I saw this mix. It was the last box in the back row of the top shelf, and it was on sale. In short, it was calling for me. The employee who had to help me get it down turned out to be gluten intolerant as well and had good things to say about it. She recommended I use only egg whites, as the cake was a bit heavy otherwise.

I baked up a batch last night and it made 17 normal sized cupcakes and might have made eighteen if I hadn't spent so much time tasting the batter. Mixing it up was a breeze and the Betty Crocker website has no-butter variations on its website if you're concerned about that sort of thing. If this keeps up, I probably will be in a while.

The cupcakes came out moist and not even a little bit grainy or dry. They came out looking and tasting exactly like glutinous cupcakes. My gluten-loving boyfriend ate two and said they were excellent. The next morning they were a little dryer and firmer, but still very good. Microwaving them for a few seconds restores them to their fresh-baked state.

I got my first box for just under 4 bucks, about the same as it is here only I had to drive to get it. For 4 bucks I got 17 cupcakes that taste better than the baked goods at the gluten free bakery in town. The bakery charges about as much for one pastry as I paid for this box, so I figure I got a good deal. I don't understand everyone who is complaining about how you don't get as much cake as a conventional Betty Crocker cake mix. Don't you all remember how much cake you get from a similarly priced Bob's Red Mill bag? Or GF pantry? Or how much a flourless chocolate cake costs at the natural foods store? A hell of a lot more.

As much as I want to support the smaller specialty companies and their small, ethical companies...I'm going to have to pass and go to Betty Crocker for my cake needs. Sorry folks.

This mix was fantastic! I subbed in brewed coffee for the 1 cup of water, and made mini cupcakes with it. They were soooo good. I took them to work, and no one thought they were gluten free. The texture is just like gluteny cake, not grainy at all. They were super moist, I put them in plastic zip top bags and they were sticking to it a little. This mix is seriously good.

I was a tad weary about trying a GF product from B.C. but was in a pinch and found it in my grocery store and hubby told me to get it after I checked out the ingredients.

The only thing I changed was instead of butter (because my son can not have milk products) I substituted it for an equal amount of applesauce + one TBSP of oil (I used almond oil). It came out wonderful, better than a regular "wheat-filled" cake!!!!

It was AWESOME!! Rich and very moist!

I recommend this cake and am ordering more. BTW, it is much cheaper here on amazon with the S&S, than in my grocery store ... $2.00 cheaper!!!!

I just finished making some cupcakes and they are great!
No funky aftertaste at all! My GF kids said they taste just like "real" cupcakes. That's the highest compliment.
The stick of butter and 3 eggs make them pretty high in calories but the chance to make a good birthday cake for my kids is worth it.

I have been dealing with Celiac disease for about 16 years. The diet has come a long way since then. I was very excited to see a main stream company produce a GF line. I baked the chocolate cake yesterday. It was very good. It must be. I ate too many samples. :) It was not dry or crumbly. I have had some bad GF stuff over the years and this was not one of them. I can't wait to try the brownies or cookies. I will be buying these again.

Betty Crocker came through with a good gluten free mix that you can get alot more easily then other GF products. Tastes like a normal Betty Crocker cake to me, it turned out moist and not too dense.

These cake mixes are to die for! Both my husband and son have severe allergies to gluten and these mixes are a life-saver. The texture is wonderful (no yucky mouth-feel) and the flavor is perfect. Both my guys are allergic to eggs, so I use one-half cup of applesauce instead of eggs and have had no problem with the cake baking properly.

I heartily recommend this cake mix to anyone who has gluten allergies - you won't be disappointed!
