For people who arent super into baking they are a cheap, fun activity for an afternoon. Just add water and maybe some oil mix it with a spoon and bake it for the time stated on the box. No need to store or buy excess cocoa, flour, sugar, eggs and so on.

Thanks for your reply. I can't say I relate to be honest, I would always want a good amount of all of those ingredients in stock. I can't really see how mixing powder with water for 2 minutes constitutes an activity for a whole afternoon either.

Because there is still baking it and decorating it to be done... I dunno if you are just eating raw batter but like if you are I promise you try putting it in a hot box for some time and it is a whole different experience

Ha. I just meant staring at the oven is not particularly fun. Fair dos on the decorating though.

I won't lie... I prefer the raw batter. I only bake the cake because I'm a coward and society tells me I have to.
