i do both..i guess it really depends on what it is for..birthday cakes are scratch..something to just make for something around the house,a box mix..and then i still add some vanilla to it and or some other flavoring to try and spruce it up a bit.

I like to make cakes from scratch. I make cakes with a mix occasionally.

Both.  I like to bake just about anything but it really depends on how much time I have in putting something together.  No matter what I prefer making my own frosting though.  I will use store bought for coverage but when it comes to decorating I have found butter cream or whipped holds it's shape.

I do both. I have a couple of cake recopies I do from scratch the rest I use a cake mix. The ones from scratcg I think taste better but the mixes are a little easier. :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:

I mostly use box mix, but every once in a while I'll make one from scratch.

I usually use a cake mix because it saves a little time.  I have a strawberry cake mix in the cupboard right now lol    I made strawberry shortcake using cupcakes that I cut in half and that worked really well.

It depends on the occasion and sometimes the child! My oldest daughter prefers from scratch, while my youngest is either store bought or boxed mix :)
