Take-out Tuesday, Happy Birthday Duncan Hines!

Today is Duncan Hines birthday!

March 26 1880 – March 15 1959

Let’s celebrate with a round up of fabulous cakes made with his cake mixes!

Here’s some fun facts about how these cake mixes came to be…Duncan Hines began his career as a salesman traveling the country before there were interstate systems and chain restaurants.  He began making lists of good restaurants he discovered while traveling to share with friends, and often asked the restaurants for recipes.  He eventually had a food column which appeared in newspapers across the nation, featuring these recipes for cooking at home.  In 1952 he began baking and developed his cake mixes.  You can read his biography on Wikipedia here
