I used to be such an insufferable baking snob. There was a period in my life where I would snub a cake mix because – dammit – I was better than that.
I would walk by cake mix in the supermarket, nose in the air. I’d judge a person with a cake mix in their shopping cart.

Baking a cake from scratch is so easy! – I’d say.
I was right.
And wrong.
I was right. Baking a cake from scratch is easy. If you’re a habitual baker, you don’t even think about it.
I was wrong. To judge. Not everyone has the time to bake a cake from scratch. It’s so much easier to dump ingredients in a bowl, mix, and be done with your life.

I get it.
I love dessert, and I also want to live my life.
