Okay- everyone knows what a "from scratch" cake is, right?
Well, I have a WHOLE list of "Totally from scratch" cakes I make. Now for my mom's birthday, she wanted a carrot-cake. I usually make ALL Birthday cakes TOTALLY "from scratch", but OCCASIONALLY I don't feel good, so I sort-of shortcut it.......And I did Mom's cake.(*hangs head in shame*)
I used a boxed white mix, added a cup and a half of finely HAND grated carrots and all the necessary spices and baked it. I then made the icing and decorations totally from scratch.
It turned out great- Mom even called and asked if I had made it with my regular recipe- and I didn't fib- I told her no and asked her why. She said it was awesome and that she liked it better than the other recipe- that it was not so heavy as the other one.
Now- my question is- does using a mix and then adding the extra ingredients count as "from scratch"- or not?

Speaking of ingredients, Cindy made blueberry muffins the other day.
I'd used all the cooking oil a while back and didn't buy more. (I got in trouble for that!)
We used real butter instead, and the muffins were noticably more delicious.
My vote:
Mix + Ingredients does not equal 'from scratch'.
Maybe 'mix plus my own secret ingredient'?
If you had to ask the question, the you already know the answer.
In actuality, I think that a mix plus other ingredients added = "semi-from scartch". Or "semi Home-made".
From scratch is exactly that- done the hard-but better-way.
Absolutly not you CHEATER! :)
Don't be a BRAT, Marie. LMAO!!!!
When you learn to cook A cake- then you can have a say.

The cake is a lie.
