These are the “Perfect Size” cake to fit any occasion and hectic schedules. These delicious cakes, with a serving size of two to four, are perfect for a few people when a full-size cake is too much. 

Duncan Hines sent me some of their Perfect Size Cake Mixes to try out. I admit, baking is not my strong suit. I’m a great cook, but baking… let’s just say that I can sometimes screw it up.

However, Duncan Hines Perfect Size Cake Mix was easy to make. It’s comes with it’s own disposable 6 inch pan (no cleanup and you don’t have to grease the pan!), the cake mix, and dry frosting packet.

You only need to add 1 egg, some water, and butter. Want to see our crazy day and how easy these “Perfect Size” cakes are to make?

It was really simple to make and I love that I had a small amount of cake. I don’t like to keep a lot of sweets in my house so this was … absolutely perfect.
