Man, you just like wasting our time No photos of you making a cake, no photos of you making frosting, and surely no photos of a cute RO eating a fully decorated cake in under 60 minutes. PF defrosting in the fridge on stand-by is my suggestion. Then, if you do make a cake, you can eat the PF for lunch tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably take them out to thaw, get high, then eat the whole cake. You just rode the opinion elevator down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, kinda. I usually make things from scratch when possible, but when I have RO I cheat a little bit because she isn't so discerning and cooking from scratch usually dirties a lot more dishes or calls for ingredients that I don't have or want to stock, plus it saves a little bit of time. When I have her, I use a pancake mix that works fairly well (for pancakes) and I can just eyeball ingredients, for instance. If I was making a cake, I'd have no idea what else I'd need for devils food, red velvet, or chocolate fudge cakes. Otherwise, I would agree that starting from scratch yields a better product.

" - you are not doing it by scratch, therefore, you will be buying a box mix (the Betty/Duncan topic!) or, as a more pragmatic and wiser member suggested, you can buy a pre-made cake from any number of sources. BUT, since you chose the harder route (but not the hardest one), it seems you are going with a Betty Crocker box cake of unknown variety. Just remember to post pics and to time the meal.

You only chose to interpret it that way because it is true. In my possession now is a Betty Crocker Butter Pecan cake mix, which I had never seen before. I ordered a chocolate fudge mix that will be delivered tonight, RO will probably choose that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted September 17, 2021 Share #30 Posted September 17, 2021 Cake in a mug is easy and fun and no mess. For the most fun, squeeze frosting out of a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
