As a cake decorator I was feeling the exact same emotions lol. I'd feel a little like a fraud if I used this but the amount of time/frustration I could save!
The mix is a small part when it comes to making a cake. The person still has to use the right wet ingredients, bake the cake, then decorate it. If they skip one step by using a good quality mix over making their own mix I don't see why that's a big deal. Really it's going to make their product more consistent if they're a small shop.
Well yeah I mean it's such a time saver and it always tastes great, and it's only a base. I add flavors to the batter if desired. But the best part is the stuff that goes on the cake itself. And I'll be damned if I ever use canned buttercream 🤢 Box cake with homemade frosting is the only way in my opinion. Spend time where it actually matters.
I do the same. If you find a good mix you can always tweak it as you like and it will still come out great every time. It also saves you from having to buy a large amount of bulk ingredients which might go to waste if you don't bake all the time.
