Good times! I personally like the idea of making whatever I can from scratch but sometimes that just doesn’t happen…

Cake mix and premade icing were on sale for 1$ and my very eager shopping companion insisting that we needed both items or we would face certain death. I’m not sure what the emergency was all about, but I could only assume that it had something to do with the impending zombie apocalypse that I was hearing about. I guess zombies don’t like chocolate cake?!?! Here I was thinking that guns were your only option against zombies. Anyway, the whole cake and icing thing turned out to be a big decision for me. On one hand I would much rather make a cake from scratch, I’m not sure if it is true, but deep down I feel like a homemade cake is healthier. On the other hand, over 2 years ago I bought two 9″ round cake pans because I was going to start making layer cakes. I still haven’t made a single layer cake. So, in all honesty what was the likely hood that on a Monday evening I was going to head home, make and ice a cake all from scratch. Not likely.
