I like to use both. For something really special, I'll make it from scratch, but the box mixes work really well too.

Neither, I just buy it at a bakery.  I like to cook, but I can't bake to save my life.

Scratch baking is much better than any mixes.  :thumbsup: Besides processed foods have all sorts of artificial ingredients that harm our bodies.  :P

I use a mix.  I usually don't bake at all, don't have the time.  To be real honest.  I just buy one already made.

I bake cakes using box mix, but I make cheesecake from scratch, though it's technically a pie lol.

Which is easier for you?
I like to make cakes from scratch, but i don't have the time anymore, so i use cake mix more then making it from scratch.

I do not like scratch cakes so I only bake with cake mixes. My mother made her cakes from scratch but I prefer box cakes.

I haven't made a cake from scratch in years.  I used to have a problem with them looking more like pancakes than a cake so I do the boxes every time.

I use the cake mix from the box.  Who would say from scratch would be easier? LOL !

I just baked six cakes last week and donated them to our church for the youth fundraiser.

I sometimes do make frosting from scratch.  :silly:
