    I am so grateful to this channel. I cook/bake everything we eat. In a pinch I made a box cake mix and the family did not like the cake. It had that imitation vanilla flavor and my family is spoiled. So I promised not to ever buy a box cake mix again. Now I can have them on the shelf ready to mix. This is the best video I've seen today. Thank you.

    Thanks for these. My mom was an excellent cook/baker so we rarely had store bought treats. I followed suit for most of my adult life but quickly discovered that it's hard to beat a box brownie mix and a couple of years ago I got addicted to cake mix cookies. LOL. I have got to try these easy mixes. Back when everybody in the neighborhood and church were having Tupperware parties, I bought 2 of their make your own mixes. About the only thing I made were the yeast rolls and monkey bread. It was nice to see how you put these together. Thanks again. Love it.

    A little secret I learned from Chef John at Food Wishes. You need a web page and you should give all measurements on the web page so you can generate views on your website. It’s not mean but it gives you and the viewer a great opportunity to view all your other wonderful recipes without you having to re-write down in the description area.
    PS-Another lesson I learned from “Frugal Fit Mom” is to make sure you get a business license for your UA-cam and website income so you can write off the food items you buy to create new content.

Now I'm from scratch baker, I'm going to try the white cake mix in a big container . Definitely saves time. I see on u tube all the hacks for box mixes, I don't see how that saves any money.

    All good mixes, I tend to do less sugar. Useful recipe for me as since it's only me I like to make 8x8 cakes. Can't do that easily with boxed cake mix. I'm older than you and when cooking with my G-ma we always sifted first onto wax paper. Basically the reason being was to make sure to get out any potential bugs. Modern processing methods mostly limit that issue. Did have it years back with organic pancake mix. Hi from rainy Oregon.

    One way to provide a printable copy of your recipes would be to use your computer word processing program to create a PDF of your recipe and upload it to Google Drive. You will need to tell Google Drive to let anyone with the URL see it. Then, you can share the URL in the description box or on a blog post. That's how I do printable things on my channel.

    Measure flour weight not by volume. Measuring flower by "cups" can vastly differ depending on how much the flour compacts.

    This is great. So basically, its the same as ANY mix, just heavier on the sugar, right?
    I make my own sweetener. Trehalose (healthy for u) and monk. But its hydroscopic, so I'm on a mission to figure out what to add to make things moist.

      Yes! But you would add 1/2 cup cocoa per cake. The jar contains enough for 2 cakes😁

    I heard they say when you’re baking a white or yellow cakes. To use the whole eggs for the yellow. And the white cake use only the whites. Is that true? Definitely this I’m going to try to get out of the house for some mason jars. Where did you get yours if you don’t mind me asking? I’m not confident on ordering through the mail Amazon. I don’t want it any broken

    • @TalesFromAnEmptyNest
      @TalesFromAnEmptyNest  28 днів тому +1

      If you want a plain white then leave out the yolks. They do add a yellow color to your mix. I got my jars from Walmart, but I also grab ones from anywhere else I can find them…dollar store, thrift store, etc😁
