[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you make them from scratch without a fancy mixer?  I don't have a KitchenAid, and can't afford one right now.[/quote]

It's cake batter not bread dough, you need a wooden spoon & a mixing bowl.[/quote]

I think creaming butter and sugar is a bit hard with just a wooden spoon, so I often use my hand-held electric mixer--not necessary to have a fancy KitchenAid type mixer.[/quote]

You cream butter & sugar for cookies. For a cake you melt the butter. Cake batter is more liquid, thus it's a batter, not a dough. Read the recipes, please, then decide what tools you need.

Have you ever used a box mix? You use vegetable oil. There is no creaming butter & sugar in making cakes from scratch.[/quote]

p.s. anytime you make cookies from scratch the butter should be room temperature, which you 100% can cream into sugar using a regular old spoon. you never use cold butter from the fridge.... just a friendly baking tip :)[/quote]
