I do both. When I was first starting out I only did boxed mixes, then started doctoring them. I have just recently found 4 scratch recipes I actually really like so will use them from now on. But I still get a lot of requests for wasc and so I use boxed cake mix for those flavors. I think whatever you’re comfortable with, go ahead and do. Don’t worry that others only bake from scratch. Once you find scratch recipes you like you can tweak them to make a bunch of other flavors as well. I always make all my own fillings and icings because I do those well and they taste much better than pre-made. Baking from scratch though is still a work in process for me but finally starting to figure it out. :)
