Comments by "Serai3" (@Serai3) on "Boxed cake vs scratch cake — Why bakers can't beat SCIENCE" video.

I really don't like the taste of boxed mix. It tastes artificial. I guess a lot of that has to do with how I grew up. My mom didn't bake at all, and birthday cakes came from the Italian bakery nearby. So when I started baking later in life, I found I just don't like that chemical-laden taste of commercial box mixes. I much prefer the imperfections of a home-made cake. (P.S. I'm shocked at a professional baker who doesn't seem to know about the use of cake rings to keep layers from doming and getting browned and crusty. Seriously?)
