Anyways, I went on the site to get a recipe that the book does not have (we have been meaning to replace it). So the recipe I made was great so I looked at the others on the site and many of the cake recipes include short cuts, like, using the cake mix for the cake part instead of making the cake from scratch.
Call me old fashion, but if I'm looking for a cake recipe, I expect to find an actual recipe not a short cut with other ingredients.
Thankfully they have an actual recipe for some of the base cake mixes.
Does that bother anyone else?
I believe this site is mostly to sell their pre packed products. Anyway, that is what I've figured out. I do use it though for quick recipes. But if you want "from scratch" you'll need to go to the cook book itself. :)
The other recipes are not like this, just the baked goods... ah well... haha... the cook book it is then!
