re: Cake Controversy

I am a hobbyist and don’t sell cakes either, but I prefer scratch recipes. You are right, though… most places where I was employed to work, did use premixes.
As to your hashtag words… personally I do not find them offensive, but I guess the world wide web reaches many countries, different cultures with differing standards and beliefs.
In addition if a person was a victim of abuse, they may have heightened sensitivities.
