Life&Cupcakes

All bakers always have this in the back of their mind. Store Bought baked goods vs. Homemade. Ever since I started baking, almost everything my family and I make have been homemade. First, what exactly does homemade mean? Homemade baked goods means that everything that the baker used to make that baked good was just a pure ingredient from the store. Meaning that they didn't buy a boxed package of cake, instead they bought the ingredients all separately and then put their own homemade touch into it.

You get the personal satisfaction knowing that you put your all into that cake and that someone else didn't make it.  2. Taste : Another reason would be the fact that it tastes way better than the boxed version. The cake will have so much more flavor and it doesn't taste so artificial....

We still do it to this day and I love every second of it. I have been pretty self taught, besides what my family has taught me. I picked up more on cupcakes a couple of years ago. I have watched Cupcakes Wars ev...
