Store bought or homemade cakes?

Home made cake is awesome but I love both.

 I recently made a white moist duncan hines cake out of the box, it was a Ralphs Friday free deal, so the mix was free... 
I purchased two white icing tubes from the 99 cent store, pillsbury brand.
The cake mix called for 3 eggs, so .60 cents for the eggs.

Not counting how much it cost to run the stove, or the water to clean the pots & mixing bowl... price was apx $2.80.
Everybody who had a piece thought it was delicious.... I used a bundt pan so it was super easy.   lol

I still rather purchase a ready made cake, but the price difference for a good cake from a bakery is about $25.00.

Homeade is so much better but store brought is easy eating

Have been doing more homemade as they taste better.  Been doing a lot with bananas since we always seem to have some that are overripe.

I am not great at baking so I buy store bought cake occasionally in the local market. The price is not too bad and sometimes it is on sale. But recently I did bake some banana muffins, not a cake and it tasted pretty good.

Homemade is always best. I rarely buy cakes from the store because of the unnecessary myriad of processed ingredients added.

The store cakes are extremely high but sometimes I pick up one for $6 but most of the time I bake them.

Store bought works for me

Do boxed cake mixes count as storebought or homemade? Maybe I'm just more used to it but I actually find those taste better than a from-scratch cake. Store frosted cakes are at the bottom of the list, never have any flavor.

I do all of my baking.  If you sub. the water and oil with like amounts of milk and melted butter your cake will taste more like it come from the bakery.  just be sure to give it a couple more minutes before taking it out of the oven. It will be more moist and people will think it come from the bakery.

I should have told you it was a  box mix, sorry about that.
