| The aisles at the supermarket are full of packet cake mixes. I'm curious. Do most people make cakes from packet mixes or from scratch? |

| From scratch. Cake mixes are also full of preservatives and chemical ingredients. |

I make them from scratch, it's really easy. I use this recipe for chocolate cake - how much easier can you get and it's not full of 200 ingredients like the box stuff. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/the_best_chocol/ |

| Both. Depends on how much time I have. |

| Scratch. Always. Once in a while I'll use store bought frosting, but hardly ever. |

| Both. Always home made frosting though. The store stuff is full of partially hydrogenated oils... |

| Mostly from scratch but sometimes from mixes. |

| Scratch. I used to use mixes, but realized it really doesn't take much more time to make it from scratch - we are talking a few minutes to measure the ingredients. |

| Who makes cakes? serious question. I make, maybe, one per year on DS birthday. |

I'd rather bake a cake once a month for my family than buy a box of ho-hos or twinkies, you know? Healthier snack food, homemade, still a treat, exciting to eat after dinner... get it? |

| I make scratch cakes all the time. It really doesn't take much more time, like 15 minutes, for measuring and mixing ingredients. |

| Only from scratch. If you can blend a mix with eggs, oil and water you can make cake from scratch. |

| Cake mixes are the biggest scam ever. Is it really that hard to add baking soda and baking powder yourself? |
