Description: ✨My homemade yellow cake and chocolate buttercream frosting recipe: lindsayannbakes.com/2017/06/video-best-yellow-birthday-cake-with.html Today we are doing a taste test showdown to find out he best Yellow Box Cake Mix with canned chocolate frosting - Pillsbury, Duncan Hines, or Betty Crocker??? So this is another episode in a fun series I have here on the channel, where I have a bunch of friends and family over for a blind taste test, to rate and compare cake samples A, B and C, so we can find out which really is the best over all cake mix brand. We’re rating these on everything from price, to ingredients, time/ease/cleanup, appearance and of course, taste, to find out which one is really worth it and which ones are just a total waste of time and money. There are so many different kinds of cake mixes at the grocery store to choose from, so which one should you pick? Well, today, we’re gonna find out which reigns supreme. I tried to use the most common or most popular options out there and I didn’t use any of my own recipes to keep it fair and so the participants could feel free to be brutally honest.
