How can I increase the amount of cake batter in Duncan Hines Classic Yellow cake mix?

I am making a 7 inch, three layer cake and one box isn't enough batter. I don't want to use 2 boxes of mix, only to have to make cupcakes or something else with the left over batter, nor do I want to waste it by throwing out the extra batter. Can you please give me some 'tried and true' tips and not just ideas as I've gotten from other sites (where theey had never trieed the suggestions)?

You buy a deeper cake pan, such as 7" X 3", and slice it into layers with a cake slicer. Me, I always swear by a good kitchen scale to divided mixes by weighing. Simply save the unwanted portion in a zipper bag, placed in an airtight canister.

SOURCE: Waste Tone Box

Your machine catch's excess toner and puts it in a container and needs you to replace/empty it soon or it will have to stop work, sorta like needs just a dash of attention for all its effort.

The bottle at a guess for this model will be apparent when opening front door, instruction are probally on the inside of door but it is just a container full of black messy stuff that needs to be emptyied and replaced....hang on I'll google it....looks like you need to buy a new box and that will have instructions even.

Some links for your product toner box

SOURCE: Freezer not working on Sub-Zero 550 Refrigerator/Freezer

You probably need to defrost freezer - frozen moisture possibly stockedevap. fan motor in the freezer. Turn it OFF for 24 hours and start itover. Make sure no moisture condensation on the freezer compartmentsurfaces as walls and shelfs. If so wipe it out. Pull out and remove upper basket from the freezer, push fan switch which is located almost under ice maker.You have to hear evaporator fan motor start working. Still not work? Call to professionaltechie! Good luck! :)

SOURCE: sub zero 532: noise increasing.

We have the same SubZero unit and the water leak is the ice maker line or the pan that catches condensation. If you unscrew the panel at the bottom, you will be able to take the pan out and see if the water is from there. If it is from the ice maker line (which was plastic on ours), you should fix this right away as we didn't and we ended up having a $10,000 flood that ruined our hardwood floors. Also, the increased motor noise happened to us as well, but when we had the motor replaced, it is not much quieter.

SOURCE: the mixing part of mixer not working motor is fine

Hi. Since I can't tell how much you have taken apart, I'll start from the beginning.

Remove the silver band, remove the top cover. At the top front of the mixer locate the transmission housing. If it's plastic, inspect it carefully for cracks around the screws and the body of this housing. If you find cracks, you have found the cheap plastic part that kitchenaid still installs in new mixers, and the cause of your trouble. They know that it's substandard but don't care enough to place a recall notice on this part. It may not please you to know that their replacement part is METAL like the original part should have been. "For the way it's made"! Indeed!

If you intend to repair the mixer yourself, go to kitchenaid's website, enter your model # and locate the parts list for your mixer. Download the drawings, they will assist you with your project.

Be sure to tell kitchenaid what you think of their cheap plastic part.

If this solution has assisted you, please rate it. Good luck! ricardok45

SOURCE: I got a Disney Christmas

Both of my kids got one of these cupcake sets. I called Walgreens customer service on this but they said they were going to have to get an answer from the manufacturer on this and that it might take a couple days to get back to me. A lot of people have been calling this in, I'd suggest you all do the same so the company can see just how many people have been having an issue with this.

Now on to my experimenting! My 5 year old was standing on a stool with all the stuff out ready to go as I was on the phone with customer service. When I couldn't get an answer I couldn't tell my son no any longer so I decided to go ahead and follow the instructions. There's a second kit around here someplace anyway. First off the oven temp converts to 356 deg F, mine would only do 355. I used the two packets in the cake mix box with two eggs and four teaspoons of butter. Let my boy stir then broke out the electric mixer. Once all mixed there was just enough for 12 mini cupcakes. The baking time was off by a lot. 10 minutes was not enough, ended up being more like 25. I took them out when the tops started to look brown. Did the toothpick stick and no cakey bits stuck to it. They end up being spongy but otherwise okay.

As for the icing, use both packets and the 2 tablespoons of water, but you really have to use a mixer on high speed to get it to whip up. We never used the little 1/2 cup measuring cup, the instructions never called for those increments, but it's a cute bonus!

I hope this helps!

How many cake mixes do i have to get to make a wilton garfield stand up cake

These Wilton stand up cakes generally take one box of cake mix. The recipes I eyed seem to call for between six and seven cups of batter, however. Here is a link to a Wilton Garfield recipe (which may disagree with the batter amount I mentioned because of the physical look you are seeking). The pans seem to be of the late 70's vintage.

Does Duncan Hines cake mixes has yeast in them and will an outdated one kill you if ate

Not sure about the yeast. If it is present it should be listed in the ingredients.

I suspect there will be no yeast in cake mix but if there is it will be dried yeast or be in a separate sachet.

I suspect the mix uses either self-raising flour or plain flour and a raising agent such as baking powder or bicarbonate of soda.

If it has been correctly stored and not allowed to become damp it could be used successfully several years after the best before date, though it is unlikely to be as flavoursome it won't harm you.

If the pack contents have become damp or they do not smell wholesome throw it away otherwise try your hand at baking a cake.

Can i cook two boxes of cake mix together in one ten inch square tin, to make a large cake?

According to Duncan Hines - no. One box of mix will cook properly in a 10x2 pan assuming it is the same height as your regular cake pans. Here is some conversion info that I copied from one of their mix boxes: 1 box of mix yields 5 1/2 cups of batter. 5 1/2 cups can be cooked in a 10x2 pan and should take about 40 - 50 minutes. You can make 2 cakes and stack them for a big cake but all that batter in one pan probably won't cook right. Two boxes of mix need a 15 x 2 round pan or an 11 x 15 x 2 rectangle pan. I hope that helps!

Cupcakes not rising when using cake mixes

It's possible that it's out of date and lost its leavening 'power'. Check the box directions to make sure your mix can be used for cupcakes. Also, not adding enough liquid might be the problem.
