I had a nice time making the Caker’s Carrot Cake mix on a lazy Sunday. Even after factoring in the extra prep steps, like grating carrots, I felt like it was so easy and had a high payoff! The finished product tasted homemade and was the perfect size for a small get-together. I’m not sure I’d pay full price for this mix, since it is quite pricey. I also didn’t think that the caramel topping added a lot in terms of flavor, and I struggled to make a pretty pattern because I cut the corner of the bag bigger than I meant to. But all in all, I enjoyed making and eating this cake!

I tried the carrot cake and l loved it. The instructions are very specific so it is helpful to read ahead so you can plan to have correct pan size and additional ingredients required.

I purchased the Spiced Carrot Cake Kit and it was a hit--my husband loved it! It's a pretty dense and sticky version of carrot cake, but very moist and not too sweet. 

I added toasted walnuts to the cake to give it a bit of crunch, and next time, I will add a few raisins because why not?  I loved how easy it was to follow the instruction card provided and appreciated the non-stick pan liner that was provided. This cake mix is the best of both worlds--tasted homemade but was easy to make. 

The only negative thing I will say is that I didn't love the frosting, but I think that just boils down to personal preference. 

I can't wait to try her Banana Cinnamon Cake Kit.

purchased two of these as christmas gifts and they were a hit. i bought the spiced carrot cake and the banana cinnamon cake as i read reviews that the other cake mixes were a little too sweet.  the spiced carrot cake was the favorite, it is perfectly spiced and you can taste the carrot without it being borderline just a juice flavor. they are a little pricey but i think the presentation, quality of ingredients, and having a forever recipe is worth it.

I love everything about this brand! My mom sent me a couple boxes of the Flourless Dark Chocolate Gold Leaf for my birthday this year. The thought that went into this product is so special. It includes everything you need to make and beautifully decorate the cake (minus the eggs and butter). The branding is edgy and cool~ Jordan Randel > Betty Crocker

A  good, high-quality cake mix. It would make a nice gift for friends who like to bake. 

I received the spiced carrot cake, which I was really excited about because we love spice cake in our house. The product was well-packaged with very clear, well-written instructions that were easy to follow. I didn't have an 8-inch round cake pan so I used a loaf pan and I think it still came out really well. I think if I made it again, I would like to add some raisins but overall, the cake flavor was really nice. My only critique was that the cake was a little dry and the icing was very sweet but I would like to try other flavors from The Caker in the future. I think this product would also be a fun gift to send to any friends who like baking. 

A delightful experience from start to finish! The packaging is gorgeous, the directions are easy and clear, and the cake was perfect. I love the product idea, because I'm either buying boxed cake mixes that are so-so or I'm bending over backwards and using every bowl/pan/utensil in the kitchen to attempt a cake from scratch. The Caker provides the ease of boxed and the quality of scratch. 

I just made this cake for my birthday party and it was a MASSIVE hit!! Didn’t take long to prepare, tasted delicious, and kept well in the fridge. That said, the price point without a Thingtesting discount is a bit high for a casual purchase. The packaging is beautiful, but it’s a lot for a cake mix, and if the price comes from the cost of packaging I think it would be a better idea for the brand to cut the excessive packaging to make the mix more widely accessible.

Honestly, my husband is the baker in the fam, and I am the consumer, but we spent a Sunday afternoon baking the cake together and enjoyed ourselves! The cake was delicious, and moist, and came together easily. The ingredients tasted high quality, and the unboxing was fun. I am almost embarrassed to say we cut the cake into quarters and just ate it that way because a small slice wasn't going to cut it. 

The price is a bit steep for an everyday cake but I think it makes for a great "specialty" cake for a birthday, mother's day, etc!

Made this cake for our 4th of july party and i got so many compliments!!! many were surprised to hear it was from a box cake mix. it was really simple & delicious. i also fell in love with pattern i ended up doing with the caramel :)
