I tried the chocolate cake and it was delicious!!!!Looking forward to trying the others.
July 30th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I am pleased to see Betty Crocker is doing things for us people that require gluten free products
July 30th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
This is so awesome! I can’t wait to try them. I can’t decide which one to try first.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I would really like to try the New Betty Crocker Mixes.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I would really like to try the New Betty Crocker Mixes. I have tasted other gluten free cakes and they weren’t bad at all.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
I would really like to try the New Betty Crocker Mixes. I have tasted other gluten free cakes and they weren’t bad at all. I don’t know what else you want me to say. I haven’t had the opportunity to
try the Betty Croker Cake after I do, I will have more to say about it.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Hi! I just called BC and the representative was super friendly! I did have to wait a bit to talk with a rep, but that was OK. I will have my coupon in a couple of weeks!! Thank you for posting this!!
July 30th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
these mixes are FABULOUS – i have been asked to make the devil’s food one by all my non-gf friends over and over…. they taste like regular betty crocker cake mix!!!
if you mix by hand with a rubber spatula, the mix will be like water, but will still bake up nicely. if you mix with a mixer, it will be much thicker and fluffier when baked.
great stuff!!!
July 30th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I am really anxious to try your new mixes. I have been telling my support group they are coming.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
This is great, thanks for the tip!
July 30th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Good move on their part. Just be prepared to wait on the phone. They are inundated and I was on hold for 18 minutes. They also have more items in the pipeline.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Thank you! I have been freaking out with cake cravings and then I got the news. I was on hold with GM for twenty minutes this morning and the representative was very helpful. My coupon should arrive in August sometime, and they’re working to expand the GF offering.
Go General Mills, and go BeFreeForMe! Thank you from Los Angeles!
July 30th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Hi Everyone!
Earlier today the wait time was only 3 minutes to speak with a General Mill’s rep. Now that I spread the word and the email went out to all the BeFreeForMe members, the wait could be longer. But it’s worth it!
However, you may want to wait a day or two to call, since I’m sure the lines will be really jammed up this afternoon!
Be Free!

I tried the Betty Crocker brownies last weekend- They are sooooooooooo good. I just called for the free coupon, & she was very nice-you do have to wait alittle bit but it’s worth it. 🙂
July 30th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
The grocer at my local store said there will be many more products coming out. I, personally, want an angel food cake mix which eggs don’t need to be added to.
I have already purchased the yellow cake mix and am going to “test it” on my non-gluten family members to see what they think.
I’ve been a celiac for almost 18 years. Foodstuffs just keep improving – hallelujah!
July 30th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I made the chocolate chip cookie mix and found them to be crispy. I didn’t find them to be moist or chewy at all. They were very good if you like crispy or crunchy cookies. They would be good to make ice cream sandwiches with. I also thought they were a bit lacking on chocolate chips. Evenstill, they are a good cookie. Unfortunately, there is no nutritional value since they don’t enrich these mixes with vitamins like they do the wheat-based (gluten-full) mixes.
July 30th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
This is wonderful. I hope it is nice and fluffy since most of the other GF cake mixes are not. I called and was only on hold for the coupon about 5 minutes so that was not bad. I can not wait to see what else BC is going to come out with that is GF. I bet we will all like the prices of the BC considering most GF foods are so expensive.
July 30th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Great! I’ll be sure to call for the free coupon. Actually, I did purchase the chocolate cake mix for my son, Craig, who has Down Syndrome and Celiac Disease. For his High School graduation party I ordered a typical cake for guests and baked a Betty Crocker cake for him. HE WAS THRILLED! Tasted wonderful! Thanks for letting us know that we can receive a coupon.
July 30th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
I have tried them all, and they are delicious!!!! Mailed some chocolate chip cookies to my daughter in college to share as a treat and they were a hit. Perfect timing with their release, since I was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease…THANK YOU GENERAL MILLS!!
July 30th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
I appreciate the convenience of a mix. I’m looking foward to trying this.
July 30th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
The BC mixes are wonderful. Our local grocer got them in and I couldn’t wait to try them. I loved the brownies and the chocolate chip cookies and I’m getting ready to try the yellow cake. Many thanks to Betty Crocker for the wonderful mixes and now for the coupons as well. YEE HAW!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 30th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
The devils food cake tasted just like “real” food. I didn’t think the price was horrible.
And it was real devils food! I made it with scratch frosting, and didn’t tell my kids. My son and daughter both have celiac. The balance of the cake went home with them. That is how good it is!
July 30th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
I am on hold right now … for greater than 5 minutes – worth it! I found all the mixes at $4.79 per mix, so this is wonderful! So far have only made the brownies, but even our gluten eaters said they were better than the glutenous ones! I am in heaven… Thank you so much Kathleen!
July 30th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I tried the yellow cake mix and added diced rhubarb to the batter and sprinkled cinnamon/sugar on top before baking. The result was a DELICIOUS dessert! Love these Betty Crocker products!! I also love that you can find them in the regular baking aisle at the store.
July 30th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
I just found out about 1 month ago that I have celiac. I was utterly ecstatic when I saw an ad in my Acme flyer that next week the GF Betty Crocker new mixes will be on sale! I didn’t even know BC had GF cake mixes until I saw that ad. What a relief! I’m going to buy one of each tomorrow!!!
July 30th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
The yellow cake mix is DELICIOUS! I couldn’t get them in Canada, so we made a road-trip and bought a bunch of mixes (along with a lot of Chex cereal). General Mills is brilliant! Can’t wait to try the other mixes.
July 30th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
I made the brownies, they were very good !!!!!! My husband did not know they were GF !! The prices are reasonable also, not like most gf products, THANKS. I hope in the near future you would be making a Angel Food Cake mix also, I miss those. I bought the cookie & devils food cake mix also.
Thank you & looking forward to any new gf products !!
July 30th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I work at General Mills in consumer services and I just wanted to let you all know that we are blown away at the number of people that have contacted us today alone for the free coupon. We haven’t seen anything like this in. . .well. . .maybe ever? LOL I have worked there for 3 years and the volume of calls we had today was unbelievable. Everyone that we talked to today were so excited and SO patient considering how long they had to wait on hold before they were able to get one of us. If you didn’t get through try again tomorrow or next week. We haven’t been told when this will end but based on today I can’t imagine them stopping it soon LOL. We knew that the gluten free mixes were going to be a hit but this is really overwhelming. Thank you all again for your patience and for being so easy to talk to. I hope to talk with more of you soon!!
July 30th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
k-
Thanks to you too and all the folks over at General Mills! Myself, and all of BeFreeForMe members, appreciate General Mills, a mainstream food manufacturer, offering the gluten-free baking mixes (and also the Chex cereals!).
Being gluten free can sometimes present its challenges; but I’ve found it also makes you appreciate the little things in life… like brownies & chocolate chip cookies!
Thanks for making us all smile today and for doing the awesome job answering the phones…and ALL of our questions! Please thank the rest of the people you work with in Consumer Services too!
Be Free!

The yellow cake was so good–rich and moist–it was almost a pound cake flavor, though not so heavy. It worked well in the banana cupcakes in the recipe section of Betty Crocker’s website, too!! Hurray!
July 31st, 2009 at 1:09 am
I looked yesterday for the mixes in one store and couldn’t find any. Guess I’ll have to run around to some more stores and look again.
July 31st, 2009 at 7:34 am
I have already tried the brownie mix, devils food cake mix and chocolate chip cookie mix. ALL ARE DELICIOUS!!! I made a batch of Betty Crocker’s regular chocolate chip cookie mix and a batch of her gluten free cookie mix since my husband and son don’t need to worry about gluten. They tried cookies from each batch and both said they couldn’t tell them apart. My daughter and I just tried the gluten free ones and we both thought they were great! Thanks Betty Crocker!!!
July 31st, 2009 at 8:58 am
Oh my is the devil’s food cake good!!! I have made it 2 times!! So moist and yummy! My family and co workers loved it too!!! Thank you Betty Crocker for making it so simple and priced right! FINALLY real desserts! THANK YOU!!!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:10 am
I was only on hold for 2 minutes. It was fast and friendly. Can’t wait for my coupon and to try the mixes. I’ve been making most things from scratch which is fine, but time consuming. This will be a nice change.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:54 am
First Rice Checks and now this. It’s nice to see gluten-free go main stream.
Go Betty Crocker!

I have had cupcakes made from the chocolate cake mix. They were so good I kept waiting to get sick!! But they really are gluten free. I waited only 7 or 8 minutes on hold for my coupon.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:19 pm
I have not tried any of the Betty Crocker mixes but heard they were great. Thank you so much Betty Crocker for making these GF mixes.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Betty Crocker,
I have tried all but the yellow gf mixes. They were fantastic!!! My relatives commented a couple of times after eating the devil’s food cake that it tasted just like the (regular) cake. I appreciate the fact that I can buy these mixes in a regular grocery store.
I agree, an angel food cake without adding 8 eggs would be wonderful. Can’t wait to see what other delicious products will be coming.
I will be calling for my coupon.
July 31st, 2009 at 1:05 pm
I have tried the brownie mix and was very happy with the taste and texture! I found out I had celiac a year and a half ago and had a hard time at first but my niece Gina had it before me and has been a big help on finding bread and restaurants that cater to GF people. So far Red Lobster, Paisanos, Olive Garden, Bucca De Beppo, Wecks, have been wonderful in preparing my food! I will try the rest of the mixes as I get wild cravings for “cake” every now and then. I used to be the cake and dessert maker of the family but have retired my Kitchen Aid Mixer. Maybe now it will get better knowing I too can have dessert with everyone else! Trifle, anyone? YUM! Thanks!
July 31st, 2009 at 3:16 pm
I was thrilled to find the Betty Crocker GF mixes at Bloom (grocery store). I grabbed a box and hugged it while carrying it around the store with a big grin on my face! I called yesterday for a coupon and had to wait about 10 minutes. I was so excited about getting the coupon, that I forgot to mention to the nice lady that I wish they would come out with some GF LOW SUGAR mixes too. I would love to buy more of the mixes but have to save them for rare treats because of the sugar. A big THANK YOU to General Mills for their efforts. Keep the GF products coming!
July 31st, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I was wondering if anyone has tried an egg substitution and if it worked well or not. My son is also allergic to eggs. Thank you.
August 3rd, 2009 at 4:06 pm
I just called and was on hold about two minutes. VERY friendly rep. I am so excited to get to try these. I already have some ideas for Christmas cakes and hope my friends and family won’t be able to tell it is a GF mix.
August 5th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I called and got right through to a customer service rep that took my information for the coupon.
August 5th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Hi – I have tried the cookies and they are wonderful – I made the chocolate cake today – I made it in a 9X12 pan and it came out rather thin – but good. Next time I’ll follow the directions 🙂 They are some what more expensive than the regular mixes – but they are good and it is a name you can trust. Thank you Betty Crocker.
Any plans of putting them into Wal-Mart stores???
August 5th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
wow, its about time – Really a great thing to have a Company such as BC behind us… Thank you
August 6th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
I am so frustrated! I looked for ingredient (and nutritional) information on the BC G-F site and can’t find it.
We have other foods we must eliminate in addition to Gluten, so before I get my hopes up, I had hoped to find the information on line. Does anybody know?
Thanks,
S
August 6th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Hi Susan-
I am sure if you call the customer service number at General Mills they will be able to help you with exact ingredients in each of the Betty Crocker GF mixes – or at the least point you in the right direction. The number is the same to reddem the coupon too! 1-800-446-1898.
Be Free!

August 7th, 2009 at 3:29 am
Hello. Thank you for this great info! Keep up the good job!
August 7th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Does anyone know where I can get this in San Diego,ca or las Vegas?
August 7th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Called General Mills this afternoon and they said they were out of coupons, but signed me up for future offers and news about more GF products. I’ve tried these and they are GREAT – price was $3.85 at my local store (probably less expensive because General Mills is located right here in town).
August 10th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Thanks for the phone number. I called, signed up for future offers and told them of my frustration, not being able to find the nutritional/ingredient information. I suggested they link the gluten free page to the nutritional information. They said they would forward the suggestion.
I was then instructed to look on the main General Mills site -with much hunting I found it:
http://www.generalmills.com/corporate/brands/product.aspx?start=G
(all start “gluten free”)
Unfortunately, or fortunately, they all include soy flour! One has dairy. Which means we can’t eat them.
August 10th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
They are incredible!! I am so excited!! Love them ALL!!
August 11th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I just made the chocolate chip cookies and they are AMAZING!!!!!! The rest of the house loves them too and although the texture is different, they love them and can’t believe how much like a ‘normal’ cookie it tastes! I’m ready to try to cake mixes with my upcoming birthday and am thoroughly excited to see what else Betty Crocker comes out with! Yeah for Betty Crocker!
August 11th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Have tried the yellow, devils food & brownie gluten free BC mixes and they are simply fabulous. Have also tried recipes from their website including: marble cake & carrot cake and they are fabulous. I have taken the yellow cake & made it into a lemon pudding pound cake…adding an egg & substituting lemon juice for vanilla, also adding lemon zest and of course a gluten-free instant lemon pudding package. After baking, and once the cake is cool, I prick the cake all over using a skewer,make a glaze out of powdered sugar & lemon juice,and pour it over the cooled cake. My husband has been a celiac for at least 6 yrs. and he is ecstatic – Our thanks to Betty Crocker! You are the BEST!!!!!
August 11th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
THANK YOU BETTY CROCKER FOR YOUE DELICIOUS GLUTEN FREE CAKE MIXES. I HAVE ALREADY MADE THE BROWNIES, YELLOW CAKE, AND CHOCKLATE CAKES, AND THEY WERE ALL DELICIOUS. NEXT I’LL TRY THE CHOC CHIP COOKIES. EVERYONE LOVES THEM. THANK YOU AGAIN, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANY NEW FLAVORS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, WE ALL LOVE IT.
August 12th, 2009 at 11:57 am
They have “run out” of coupons due to overwhelming demand. We Celiac are a responsive bunch. But they will collect your information and put you on a list for product updates
August 12th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I found the betty crocker gluten free mixes at my local store and I really enjoy them alot.. I was happy to enjoy the brownies and the cookies enjoyin them with my kids was great. I have been going without and they would not make brownies because I couldnt have them. And other brands tasted grainy… I really like the betty crocker mixes and would love to get a coupon … thanks I do hope you make bread or muffin mixes that taste great too…. please keep up the good work.. thanks…
August 13th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
I called for the free coupon & they will not have any more free copons.
They will take your name & address for any future offers.
September 9th, 2009 at 8:22 am
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog. 🙂 Cheers! Sandra. R.
September 11th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
We tried the Devil’s Food Cake Mix and it was delicious! I can’t wait to try the other mixes. Keep em coming Betty!
September 24th, 2009 at 7:35 am
My girlfriend and I have tried the brownies and cake, they are great!!!!! This is a different vote, I do not have Celiac’s or any food allergies. My girlfriend does and she has been just fine eating these products.
December 13th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
My husband has Celiac. I have tried all the GF Betty Crocker and they are very delicious. The brownies are my favorite!! I kids and I love the GF brownies better than brownies with gluten and we don’t have to eat gluten free. It’s the only mix I buy; with choc chips and butter in them they are yummy!!
September 7th, 2010 at 12:22 am
I was so happy to be able to eat cake again after being diagnosed with food allergies. I bought 2 new boxes of the Devils Food mix the other day and I was reading theingredients and noticed on one box that they have added SOY FLOUR to the mix, the other no. WHY would you do that? That is another allergen that is common. Could someone there recognize this and change it back to the old formula, that was perfect by the way!
