I never like boxed cakes as much! conveniently, my sister has agreed to make the cake for me :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-974302 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 00:53:16 +0000 Giraffe 974302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Orvis18: you will not regret it, especially if your LO loves yogurt as much as mine does! I didn't get the frosting to look as perfect as in those photos, but that may also be because we somehow ended up with nonfat Greek yogurt. I'm sure full fat would have been thicker. We didn't want to use honey yet, so we used maple cream to sweeten the frosting instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-974179 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 22:06:04 +0000 bunnylovesbear 974179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend made our smash cake from scratch; however, I'm a box-baker. Haha. I'm planning my own little "smash cake" photo shoot for tomorrow morning, and I made a boxed chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-971531 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 07:21:31 +0000 bushelandapeck 971531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Giraffe: glad to hear he loved it as that's what I'm planning to make LO :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-971526 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 07:18:05 +0000 heffalump 971526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First birthday I was too overwhelmed and bought it from the grocery store.

I don't know why, but I feel like scratch is easier? Logically I know that's not true </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-967760 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:23:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 967760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>scratch! We made a black bean cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-967750 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:18:08 +0000 twinmama 967750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to bake, but their cakes were from a box mix. We made the whipped cream though ;) They ate so little of it that it wasn't a priority to have it be nutritious or fancy. And I was already up late making four since one stuck to the pan and got destroyed, and we needed another for guests....which hardly anyone ate. So yeah, it was the right decision for us, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-967641 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:26:10 +0000 Mrs. Twine 967641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an everything from scratch kind of gal.

Angel food cake is a birthday tradition for the little guys in my family and that's just too much to make from scratch. Side note: my mom said we were too little to be angles yet, so she called it cherub food cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-967439 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:55:07 +0000 Weagle 967439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Box with icing from scratch. Really, I've never thought scratch cake tastes any better than boxed. Usually it's worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-made-your-los-birthday-cake#post-967417 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:48:40 +0000 sslm 967417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scratch!

But I made the frosting from scratch. </p> <p>I found on Pinterest that if you substitute the oil for butter and water for milk, it tastes a lot better and it did! Everyone thought it was made from scratch. </p>
