re: Cake Controversy

As to cake boxes or premix users, to all those nay sayers & bashers they obviously have never worked in a large bakery or have even been to a wholesale bakery supply place. To save time and money a LOT places use these BUT they will add their own touch to the mix. All the packaging is doing is premixing your dry ingredients for you. LOL . Some premix just calls for water to be added & it comes in 50 lb bags – someone is using it somewhere or it wouldn’t be available. LOL. If bakers are not using a premix they should be charging extra because it is extra work and time. If one really feels the need to “confess” they use a box mix, try saying “I use a dry ingredient premix measured to my liking and then create from there.” Some local bakery shops offer “their brand” of premix in smaller sizes.
