I love to cook and bake so we have more homemade items at our house than store bought.

I always wait till Friday from where I'm at either its on Vons or Food4less the price is 5$ for a pretty decent cake to eat.

Store bought are okay, but there is nothing better than a homemade cake because they are made with love and you know what ingredients are put in the cake.

I prefer homemade cakes! I mean, there are a bunch of great store bought cakes out there but it is the process of baking the cake that I love  :-[

If I have the time, homemade for sure.  But if I just have too much going on, it's easier to lessen the stress and buy a store bought.  I agree they are much better than they used to be.  But nothing ever beats homemade IMO.

I've seen allot of change in all the food markets in every area, people are getting wise on junk in our foods and demanding quality, think of how many years mac and cheese was getting away with selling us junk, and now they act all proud they changed ... I'd be hiding behind a door peeking asking please give me another chance ... I try to make all my stuff from scratch and the all organic is too spendy for me all at once  but little by little i'm switching over. Good cake is to die for my fav is red velvet with cream cheese frosting home made all they way from scratch.

I love to bake. So I love to bake cakes. I just don't have the time or the energy to put forth the effort to make it from scratch. The boxed mixes are a lot quicker, but even quicker is picking up one at the market. I always wanted to open my own pastry shop. There have been two or three bakeries in my family and several other barbeque joints and thrift stores. You don't see many real bakeries anymore. Around here it is just donut shops. When I was younger our bakeries had everything and looked similar to Carlo's Bakery from Cake Boss. One even had a deli style restaurant sort of like McAlister's.

My mom makes really good homemade cakes. I have never really liked store bought for this reason I guess. They have too much sugar in them.

If i have the time i really prefer home made cake. That way, it is a bit cheaper and my kids get to taste that home made flavor in the cake

For a special family event, such as birthday or anniversary, I usually make a cake.  Though not fully home-made.  I would use a store bought cake mix, then add my own filling and a special flavored cream frosting.  Can do different variations.  Yummy!
