Wait until they figure out they can buy the cake mixes, and it's possible to make your own cakes, with as much extra stuff as you want. I once made a cake with embedded cookies, and a peanut butter cream cheese frosting. I regret nothing.

How much of a thing is using a cake mix? I bake often but just using simple ingredients that I buy separately, but cake mixes seem to be really popular, especially in the states. Is that true?

For people who arent super into baking they are a cheap, fun activity for an afternoon. Just add water and maybe some oil mix it with a spoon and bake it for the time stated on the box. No need to store or buy excess cocoa, flour, sugar, eggs and so on.

Thanks for your reply. I can't say I relate to be honest, I would always want a good amount of all of those ingredients in stock. I can't really see how mixing powder with water for 2 minutes constitutes an activity for a whole afternoon either.

Because there is still baking it and decorating it to be done... I dunno if you are just eating raw batter but like if you are I promise you try putting it in a hot box for some time and it is a whole different experience
