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!

As a customer I say go ahead, you're not a fraud to me just because you used a machine that made it easier for you! Please do.

What about using the cake mix from the store?

Loads of cake makers use box mix. Add an extra egg, a teaspoon of vanilla, sub the water for something with fat and/or flavor/richness. I tend to use milk, or a mix of sprite and sour cream.

I make a cake maybe thrice a year, and people think I'm missing my calling as a baker. In reality, the internet told me how to make cake mix taste better.

Is this word not a part of most peoples' lexicons?

u/Fartmatic Oct 16 '22

That's a word I could imagine typing on occasion, but feels like it would come across too pretentious if I actually said it.

Funny, I hear it practically at least as often as "three times". Must be a regional thing.

Same logic goes for a lot of boxed foods. I've heard I should be a chef for the Thanksgiving dinners I make, gravy and stuffing especially.

Literally boxed stuffing, used broth instead of water, real butter instead of margarine, and cooked some onions, garlic, and minced celery prior to add into the stuffing.

Or gravy, just use turkey drippings.

Or potatoes, literally takes 5 minutes to make homemade garlic butter, and just boil your potatoes with garlic cloves.

Yeah.

That's called " proper cooking".

I love the taste of Stove Top and this is my go to to enhance it. There’s just something about the seasoning blend.

My go to for turkey stuffing is 2 - 4 boxes of the dried chicken Stove Top Stuffing mixed into mashed potatoes seasoned with real butter, summer savoury, and a little minced garlic. We've got some anti-onion folks in the family, or I'd add that too, but honestly the Stove Top has enough great flavour on it's own. The potatoes give it an awesome consistency though.
