I don't come from a line of bakers. When I think cake, I think boxed cake mixes from the store, whether it be a birthday cake, holiday cake or just for fun cake. Growing up, we did NOT buy ready-made store-bought cakes for birthdays. We always made them, but not homemade. Still, I remember the hand blender quite vividly. I always wanted to be the one who got to “clean” it if you know what I mean...that and the bowl.
Our celebrations were never lavish, but always special and memorable. I’m sure you’ve seen some of the food based reality-TV shows that focus solely on cakes. I’d love to conjure up something like that one day! For now, I'll stick with boxed cake mixes and attempt to get creative. This way, if it doesn't turn out like it should, I haven't invested too much time in it.
