To cook cake from scratch or not to

[Bakemehappy]

For me I love the experience of cooking and baking and whatever it takes to make something from scratch. I do not derive much pleasure in eating but I get the satisfaction from cooking. I love the idea of preparing every ingredient and hunting for the rare ones then measuring them carefully to achieve the desired outcome. I love to labor for love

I would personally always bake cakes from scratch. Cooking relaxes me, and I try to prolong the experience by reading a recipe and measuring all the ingredients out. It's also something that I've always done since I was about 9 or 10 years old, so it's a habit as well. Buying cake mixes also feels like a waste of money when the cost of individual ingredients is far cheaper. However, if you bake cake from a cake mix, then you're nearly guarantee not to fail, which can be useful if there is something important which you need to bake a cake for quickly.
