Scratch Cake vs. Cake Mix

For those who can’t remember what cakes made from scratch taste like, don’t worry; you’re in the majority. Today, most cakes are made from a mix. Cake mixes are a more consistent product. It’s certainly a safer way to bake especially if someone isn’t very experienced in the kitchen. Most of your larger food chains and bakeries like Sam’s, Costco, Walmart, etc. all use cake mixes. If their cakes are not shipped frozen, they order large sacks of cake mix to produce those beautiful cakes in the display cases. You can also purchase cake mix (Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, etc.) in local grocery stores. Although now a days it is easy and affordable to purchase cake mixes or already made "cake mix" cakes in stores, you should consider that there are preservatives and chemicals in these cake mixes.  Those who know what cake made from scratch taste like, definitely know that the two don't taste alike. A cake made from scratch usually tends to be filling and can be made with a variety of flavors and there is full control of quality of ingredients. We decided to make our cakes out of real ingredients such as local eggs, milk and sugar.  Sweets Galore does not make there cakes from cake mix but instead from scratch providing the best of ingredients available in Hawaii.
