What? A box of cake mix and a spoon for $35? You could buy both for $4 at a grocery storeâŚ
I agree this is a joke, It should be sold as baked for $20 then it is worth it
How much $$ without the spoon??
When do you use the spoon?? The recipe (laid out step-by-step!) doesnât even call for using the âFrench Wooden Baking Spoonâ
Are you serious? This a BOX cake mix!! At first I thought it must include the pan, but nooooo.
Did somebody actually purchase this? I really hate to meet the idiot who paid full price of 50 dollars for cake mixâŚ
$35 for someone to measure out ingredients for me??? WAT??? Oh wait, I forgot the spoon. Are there strands of gold woven around the handle? BRB, going to the store to buy everything in this âkitâ plus a brand new bundt pan for half the price.
The estimated date is a system estimation. WineDavid is promising it by Thanksgiving.
Just when you thought woot! couldnât get any worse, it spirals down yet another notch. This price for boxed cake mix is absolutely absurd. Not even pause-for-a-second-and-wonder-if-there-might-be-some-rationale absurd, but patently ridiculous. SMH.
Yeah, I feel bad for TT and those that have to listen to us complain. At the end of the day itâs simple, if you donât like the deal, donât buy it. But frankly, this is beyond just not a good deal, it feels like an insult. Itâs like, hilariously bad. I feel like there should be a SUPREME bumper sticker slapped on the box. Then at least there would be precedent for overpaying for it.
Wait! Check the sales stats. At 5am someone in Michigan bought 100% of them.
This must be have some sort of Wolverine magic for beating the Buckeyes.
Or, maybe itâs just a tradition.
Thank goodness it comes with a wooden spoon! I already have a 12-cup Bundt pan, two small bowls, a can opener, a large bowl, an electric-mixer, a spatula, a whisk, a wire rack, a small saucepan, and an off-set spatula. The only thing Iâm missing is a spoon!
Come on guys, it a FRENCH wooden spoon!
This âdealâ should include a rum soaked cake and the Bundt pan. Who cares about the spoon!
HmmâŚ
Bundt Cake

Bag of Crap
Get your Bundt of Cake here folks before it sells out! Servers are crashing as we speak!
Edit: Too late, sold out. First sucker and last to woot are the same person. They literally sold one. That poor Michigander must have been sleepwooting.
You are correct, Thanksgiving is Nov 22, my birthday!!!
I donât mind complaining about the pricing. I donât want comments that would upset vendors though. Our ability to get vendors in all our forums is a great service we can provide but they need to feel like theyâll get a reasonable reception.
I looked this up on their site and itâs $44 there plus shipping. So this is a good deal for this brand and this cake.
May not be a fit for you and thatâs ok.
Yes, I suppose I should make that distinction. Itâs clear that woot/the vendor are offering a reasonable discount from retail. Thatâs fair. I guess my beef is that the productâs retail price is so absurdly exorbitant that even at a significant discount, itâs laughably expensive for what you receive.
For curiosityâs sake, I threw all the ingredients in a Whole Foods cart (full size amounts i.e., enough to make like 5 of these cakes), choosing âpremiumâ and âorganicâ options where possible, and it still only totaled up to $27, and I could have it delivered to me in 2 hours.
I know a lot of time and effort goes into sussing out these deals and vetting vendors day after day and every once in a while, youâll get one that doesnât resound with the audience. Itâs inevitably going to happen and I canât begrudge anyone that.
Long story short, wow, was this a bad one (IMHO). But itâs okay, I still love my woot.
Edit: I just noticed in the vendor tab that some of the original manufacturerâs profits go to charity. Now thatâs a value adder. That might help the reception of the product in the future if that fact was more prominently advertised.
Agreed, but even then, itâs a ridonkulous price. What is the charity?
