Over-the-Top Baking Kits

Duncan Hines' Epic Baking Kits Take Inspiration from Social Media

— January 7, 2021 — Lifestyle
Duncan Hines created Epic Baking Kits that make brightly colored cakes, cookies and brownies, and include the frosting, decorative details and other necessary additions to create over-the-top treats. Chocolate lovers are bound to be tempted by the S'mores Brownie Kit with layers of graham cracker crust and mini marshmallows, while Fruity Pebbles fans will delight in all the colors of the confetti cake mix.

These Epic Baking Kits were inspired by sweet treats on social media and from bakeries, and they promise to create share-worthy snacks and desserts in just four steps.

As people spend more time in the kitchen baking everything from bread to freshly made cookies, they are experimenting with new treats like never before. These kits help to simplify home baking by providing most of the essentials for whipping up colorful, texture-rich treats at home.
