No stars for this time. I don't know what brand of cake mix you all used but I didn't notice any difference at all. I used pillsbury cake mix and baked as directed after adding the extender. I still got a very small cake. I used 2 round cake pans and no way did my finished product look anything like the photos. I'll try another brand of cake mix and see what happens.

    This is the BEST! I was out of oil, so I used 1/4C butter instead. I made a large sheet cake; it looks beautiful. The batter came to the top of the pan, was worried that it would spill over but it didn't. Will definitely use this when I make cakes from now on.

    This is definitely a "Good Thing" I tried it with a devil's food cake. I did however add 1 heaping tsp. of cocoa to make sure it did not diminish the flavor of the mix. I also added all dry ingredients with dry cake and then all liquids. Thanks:>

    This extender does wonders for a cake mix. I have always loved the convience of mixes, but was always dissappointed with the size of the cake. Well, this weekend I tried this on a layer cake, and no one would have ever guessed it was a mix. The only change I made was to sub apple sauce for the oil. Watching that fat you know. Anyway, thanks again. This is definately a 5 star tip.
