Cake in a box… It’s so bad it’s good! If you want a bakery cake, go out and buy one. But, don’t be afraid to have cake just because it looks homemade. As far as I’m concerned, when it comes to cake it is all about taste.
I do tend to love making everything from scratch, and typically I would say you should toss boxed mixes to the side and conquer your fear of homemade recipes; but honestly, I LOVE Duncan Hines. This is my guilty pleasure and sometimes I just can’t help myself!
Everyone has their own techniques when it comes to baking. I love to customize. Here are a few of my favorite places that create edible decorations that will satisfy any bakers wants and desires for holiday and personal trimmings.
