About Betty Crocker
Since her creation in 1921, Betty
Crocker has been one of the strongest brand icons in the food industry.
A brand associated with quality and trust, Betty Crocker and the red
spoon symbol appear on more than 300 General Mills products including
ready-to-spread frostings and mixes that make some of the country’s best
cakes, brownies, cookies, muffins and other baked goods. As a pioneer in
the dessert mix category, General Mills was one of the first companies
to introduce layer cake mix in 1947; it did so under the Betty Crocker
name. This started a revolution in baking, providing homemakers with a
convenient, reliable way to replicate the quality and taste of
"homemade” without the hassle.
