Cake

I'm pretty sure I have never baked a cake from scratch. I do the mix thing mostly. I just can't justify the price difference between a mix and getting the ready made thing. I only do that for special ocassions.

If I am making something like a yellow or chocolate cake I will use a mix. When I make special cakes like spice or something like that I make it from scratch. I didn't even know there was a mix for spice until I took one somewhere and some woman asked me which box mix I used for it. I almost fell over since I had been making them for so long.

I don't bake cakes from scratch but love eating those that are baked from scratch. I'm sure it'd be fun to make and I'd love to try it out sometime! I think though that since I don't bake presently, I'd have to say that I'd prefer to get them from the box for now. To save money in the future I might just buy it from the bakery, or if it's less expensive to make it from scratch (which I can only assume it is) then I'd bake it from scratch.

My husband and I keep one box of cakemix in the store room, incase we want to bake a cake for a midnight snack. LOL That's exactly what we did last week. It was a load of fun. We baked a chocolate cake at midnight one night, because we were just in the mood for cake. LOL

I do mine from the mixes. I have often wondered if it was any cheaper to make them from scratch.

I bake my own cakes, but sometimes I will use a mix. But I have not done that for a while. The only time we will buy a cake is if it is a birthday or something special like that. And that is because I am a terrible decorator. So in that case, we will buy one. Now that there is just the two of us, there is no use me making any cakes unless it is for company.

I would rather bake one from scratch even though it might be a little more work. This way I know exactly what is in it and I think they taste better. Just an opinion.:>)

I used to bake cakes from scratch, and I still love doing that. It's not that hard really, especially when everything's already in your kitchen. What I don't like is having to go buy the ingredients. Though I don't mind the brownie mix and muffin mixes. I love the muffin mixes, coz I love having them for breakfast and it's a lot quicker than from scratch. I also buy the cake at times. It just depends on the mood. Am I in a great baking mood? Then from scratch. Am I in the mood for making some treats and having them right away? Then the mix. Am just in the mood for something sweet right now? Buy the cake. I usually like cakes with no frosting on it though. I dunno, frosting's too sweet for me. I can't handle it.
