One of my favorite new cookbooks is "Your Cup of Cake." The recipes usually start with a cake mix, and I emailed the author to ask what size she's using - the new, smaller one, or the old standard size, since the recipes don't specify. I was amazed that she got back to me within hours! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1} She uses the new size in her recipes, and she said that Pillsbury gives the best results.
