Did/will you make it from scratch or from a box?
-
Scratch! I don't "bake" from a box...
-
His birthday is still a couple of months out but I'm planning on making E's from scratch!
-
We're getting my favorite store bought cake from Metro Market/Mariano's/Roundy's. It's seriously my favorite marble cake. I wish I could have voted Marshmallows! I use that one now with my husband in emails and texts.
-
My mom made it from a box
-
Box! But I made the frosting from scratch.
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.
-
I've done both!
P's was from scratch since it was a bean cake & G's has usually been from a box.
-
Scratch! I don't mind a little sugar every so often but I like to keep it as natural as possible.
-
Scratch- always!
-
Scratch! I love love LOVE to bake!
-
Box with icing from scratch. Really, I've never thought scratch cake tastes any better than boxed. Usually it's worse.
-
Box, even though I feel bad saying it. 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.
-
I made her cake from scratch
-
I haven't used a boxed mix since I was a teenager.
-
I was going to do scratch, but I knew I would stress out and a box was just easier. I did make the icing from scratch.
-
scratch! but thats how we bake everything, so it's not really a stretch.
-
Scratch! I love baking.
-
I'm an everything from scratch kind of gal. Made the icing, cupcakes, food, etc. I really love to cook, especially baking.
-
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.
-
scratch! We made a black bean cake.
-
It will be from scratch, but that's how I usually bake. I don't know why, but I feel like scratch is easier? Logically I know that's not true
-
From scratch. She has food allergies, no eggs, no wheat, no milk. I didn't have a choice but to make it myself (even if I don't normally bake)
-
If i were to make it it'd be Scratch...I don't like baked box cakes. The batter is yum though.
-
I bought DS's cake for his first birthday. I haven't decided what I'm doing this year. I'm thinking about making cupcakes from scratch.
-
I had a custom cake baked for her. I made all the rest of the food from scratch.
-
I paid someone to make a beautiful cake for DD's 1st.
I plan on ordering DS' cake too.
Will maybe make cakes from scratch in the future! -
DS's was from scratch and a recipe I had to come up with with lots of modifications due to his limited diet.
-
I wanted to make it from scratch, but I was exhausted and just bought a box. I prefer from scratch though.
-
From scratch! Ill probably make him a smash cake and make cuppycakes for everyone else'
-
From scratch. I made this one: http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/29/diy-healthy-smash-cake/
It was super easy and he loved it!
-
First birthday I was too overwhelmed and bought it from the grocery store. This year I made cupcakes from scratch.
-
@Giraffe: glad to hear he loved it as that's what I'm planning to make LO
-
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.
-
@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.
-
always scratch! I never like boxed cakes as much! conveniently, my sister has agreed to make the cake for me
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.
