Last updated on August 4th, 2026

Betty Crocker’s Cake and Frosting Mix Cookbook (1966), is a beloved classic cookbook that guides home bakers with tips on how to use packaged cake mixes and frosting back in the 60’s. I’ve included original vintage cookbook clips on classic cake mix basics, some tips on cake pan sizes, and a few cake mix recipe variations.
