I did the box thing cause I am busy. but hubby's condition diet states no on boxed cake, so actually we as in you too should not eat box cake. but geez the easy, tell the manufacturers to do make the dry to be easier on our bodies and not time/work.  REALLY

I use cake Mix, I wish I could bake a cake from scratch.  I am not a baker cannot cook any sweets from scratch.

I tried baking my husband his birthday cake from scratch a few years ago, and I failed miserably.
I stick to box mix.
It's easier for me, and I know it will turn out better.

When I made the cake from scratch, it was SUPER dense. It didn't fluff up at all.

Cake mix. I don't care enough to bake from scratch. Sauces though, I make from scratch.

I don't make cakes much any more, but use mixes more than scratch.  I have one scratch recipe I do occasionally.

Most of the time I bake from scratch, once in a while a box cake, or if I am really lazy I will buy a pound cake or angel food cake. Depends on what is going on. The pound cake is really good with fresh berries.

I use a mix it is faster, and I don't really know how to make them from scratch.

I always make cakes from scratch because I have tried cake mixes and for some reason they just come out wrong. Also I like to know what is in my cakes having lactose intolerance and my husband being a diabetic.

I've always used mix. If I tried to make one from scratch I would probably mess it up. I would like to learn how to bake/cook some time.

I would like to bake a cake from stratch, but I use cake mixes.  Unfortunately for me, when my hubby had our stove put in, it is lopsided and it makes my cakes uneven.  I have a cake mix that I have to use up soon.  I have four cake pans and two cupcake tins (one is round and one is square).  I may make cupcakes, since they turn out better. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow: :rose:
