"Tried Presidents choice, Betty Crocker and they could not stand up to this mix. Rarely ever use Cake mixes as I don't care for them, but this was surprisingly very good and had a great flavour. Best m..." See moreix for both taste and deep red colour. Scratch is always best but for a mix this one is it! Keep a couple at the house for a quick dessert. Adults and children love them. Great job Duncan Hines. Cannot find in Canada. I go to the US to buy it. Come on Duncan Hines! Canadians love red velvet too!!"
