Sugar Free Cake Mixes

now available from Pillsbury, made with Splenda and oh sooooo good. They have 2 flavors...classic yellow and devil's food chocolate and also 2 frostings...white and chocolate.
I made cupcakes with these mixes and they taste great. I do recommend that before you use the frosting, take a spoon and mix the frosting before trying to spread. It tends to be a little thick but once you work with it, it becomes really creamy like regular frosting, and the flavors are really good, I prefer the chocolate.
