I did the pink camouflage cake which was a lot of fun so I tried this one. I don't cook so this wasn't too complex I enjoyed! We made Budda cupcakes!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I am a professional baker & always bake from scratch; however, I wanted to try Duff's mix. After trying this I will continue making my rainbow cakes from scratch. As soon as I opened it, I kept sniffing in search of a good smell but there was none. The mix smelled as if there was no flavoring put in...not a good first impression. The instructions will tell you to squeeze a certain amount of drops of food coloring in batter to make each color. The problem is, the coloring comes out on clumps rather than drops so you can't control how much goes in.

I go to bake the cakes & realized that they didn't rise. What the crap?! Each cake was a half inch tall?! It's as if they forgot to add any leveners. I followed all instructions to a T so it wasn't me. I cool the cakes and flip over to take out the pan. They wouldn't come out even though I sprayed like crazy!! I had to scoop one out with a spoon and by then, it was just crumbs. This has never happened to me before! The second cake I decided to leave in pan and frost but as I tried to frost that cake fell apart also.

Of course my friends and I tasted it anyway and yuck it tasted like play dough and cardboard...the house smelled the same way. It wasn't good at all. I think one of the problems is that the cake is way too fluffy, light, and tender...more than regular cake mixes if that was even possible. It's too delicate to hold together. Duff this needs work...you're embarrassing yourself!

Cool instructions, but you could probably achieve a similar effect using a box of white cake mix and your own food coloring

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2013

I sat down just now to give this a 1-star rating as way overpriced for what it contained. I opened the box and found a package of what appeared to be ordinary white cake mix. It wasn't until I collapsed the box and brought it next to my computer to write this review that I found the included food coloring (and noticed that the instructions say, "using food color packets provided"). Since the food coloring is indeed included, I've upgraded my rating to 3 stars for the "all-in-one" kit convenience.

However, a few thoughts. I always have a box of the standard four colors of food coloring sitting around the house, so I didn't actually need the packets. Also, I suspect it would be difficult to cut a hole of the right size in the corner of the packets to allow the precise "number of drops" measurements recommended for the various colors.

That being said, I echo the other comments that the quantity of batter seems on the low side. Personally I cringe at anything artificially food-colored (especially to this extent), but the kids loved the look of the product on the box, so we gave it a try for a birthday party. I scrimped on the coloring quantities and definitely ended up with pastels instead of the beautiful intense colors on the box. I just couldn't get myself to use that much coloring.

Last, I think it would be pretty easy to guestimate the correct coloring drop quantities (just make sure to use way more than you think necessary). So you really could DIY this by buying a supermarket brand of white cake mix and using your own food coloring. The main value of this product, then, is in the technique suggested for achieving the tie-dye effect. If you've ever made a marble cake, it's similar in concept, so you could probably achieve a decent outcome using trial and error, but having the instructions provided is certainly helpful.

It was easy to make but did not have enough food coloring that it called for.

I have not yet used this product, but love the idea of it. I purchased it to make for my daughter's Dr. Seuss themed baby shower.

I'm not a baking idiot, but after making this cake, all bets are off.

Aldi had this cake and the Zebra cake in their specials section and as I had always wanted to try them, I was excited to buy them for less than what I've seen them for at Target. I should have read the directions before I shelled out good money for them because had I done that I would have thrown them back on the shelf and run for my life. Instead, I waited until the oven was warming up and I had all of my supplies out. The 1st clue this was going to be a waste of my sanity was the fact I would need a total of 12 bowls (according to the instructions). 6 for mixing the frosting with dye and another 6 to divide each of those batters in half for the cake layers. But, the genius that I am and that A, I got in 2nd grade math and college Philosophy, decided I only needed 6 bowls and could work from there. That would have been fine, except for 1 problem. As the directions say each bowl should get about 3/4 cup of mix per color. I got to bowl number 5 (forgetting I needed 6) and used up all of the cake mix - mind you- using only 3/4 cup per bowl. Thank God for some common sense because I caught the missing 6th bowl when I was ready to mix the last of the 2 colors. BUT, because I didn't have enough for 6 bowls I had to divide the remaining bowl in half leaving yellow and green gipped of their opportunity to make as much of a splash as the other colors. Like many others, I didn't have enough food color for the red & blue and had to use my own food coloring to make up the difference. Considering I did pretty well in counting from 1-20 in my early childhood education days, I knew it was nothing I did. Well, if you don't count the fact that I didn't measure the size of each droplet to make sure they didn't come out too big. I got it in my pans as instructed, so for the 1st time in this process, I was able to pat myself on the back. After 25 minutes when I went to take them out of the oven, they were tiny. I mean, I have made pancakes that were thicker than these layer cakes. I'm sure it didn't help that I used 9" cake pans, but considering every other cake mix brand bases their measurements on using 9", not 8", pans, I didn't think to pay attention to that part. Shame on me for figuring Chef Duff would work in the standard fashion. Well, I wasn't going to run back out to the store to spend what was left in my wallet to be tortured through the whole coloring thing all over again, so I figured I would just have to serve a thin cake and tell everyone "Hey, less calories!". I got both of them out of my pans just fine, unlike many of the other reviewers of this product. But, I guess it helped I was using $35.00 gold William Sonoma cake pans, the kind that prevents even Super Glue from sticking. So, yea, I had that going for me. When I frosted the bottom layer, I noticed, much to my chagrin, crumbs were my new problem. Thankfully, I have had A LOT of baking experience and knew to put the upper layer in the freezer for a few minutes so that at least the top layer wouldn't look like a unicorn shed itself on my cake. It is now frosted and waiting to be served at a gathering we are having tonight. After reading some of the reviews regarding the taste, I am scared to death of serving it to people I now call my friends, but, tomorrow, may have to change my identity and move far, far away. This may ruin the baking reputation I have garnered through much of the county. But, could that be Chef Duff's evil plan. Making people who use his products think they are too dumb to bake so they don't try and instead order a cake from his shop. If that's the case, he's the genius.
