I was the strange kid who didn’t (still don’t) like cokes, ice cream or potato chips.
My sis liked (still likes) them, and mom and dad would buy plenty :(
I can’t remember the last time I baked a box cake....and, I bake a LOT of cakes. My (grown) kids would probably revolt, if I tried baking one, now.
My MIL gave me a killer recipe for buttercream frosting (she got from a little old lady at her church). I’ve used that for birthday cakes for years now. One year, when my youngest was about 10 or so she wanted one of the canned frostings (there was a unicorn on the can or something, with sprinkles). So I did that. When she ate the cake, she gagged and scraped all the frosting off. LOL.
Granny recipe buttercream for the win.
I used to be quite the baker when I was younger. Unfortunately now, I generally look at simple carbs as the enemy.
