<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello all, Thank you for your responses regarding your thoughts on the 3 cakes mixes that Dowd & Rogers makes. Your opinions were split: 3 people said they were pleased and liked the mixes very much. And another 3 people said they were not impressed and thought they were heavy, too sweet or difficult to prepare. Well, I think I will give them a try anyway. My Mom works close to a health food store that sells these mixes, so she is planning on picking up the Vanilla. Thanks for your input! Susan
