I bought a package of cake mix the other day.
I was going to make it for my Husband's birthday, coming up next weekend.
Instead, he asked for a pumpkin pie, again.
We have no desserts in the house this past weekend, so I decided to make the cake.
I read an article recently, that mentioned the fact that shrinkflation has hit the packaged cakes, hard.
They used to be 18.25 and now some are as low as 13.25. That is 5 ounces less cake mix.
Remember the days when a box mix made 24 cupcakes?
No more. Maybe 20, if you are lucky.
I buy Duncan Hines cake mix, and it is still 15.25. Still 3 ounces less, but not as bad as the others.
I am heartbroken, since I own recipes that take those box cakes as a starting point, and use them to make different recipes.
Now, the proportions are all wrong.
Just raise the friggin price, already!
Update:
Here is the finished cake. Not too bad.
