Instant Cake

[davidn]

1. Go to the supermarket and buy a box of cake mix. Realize halfway back that said box doesn't include icing.
2. Go back to the supermarket and buy icing. Go back home.
3. Go back out to the supermarket and retrieve the icing from where you left it on the counter after buying it. Trudge back home.

I think I'll just stay in bed for the rest of the week.

Even some days I prefer the simplicity of a cake mix or a pre-made cake. A few days ago, I was grumbling because there was no chocolate cake at the supermarket, and I didn't want to make one. (I think this was around the same time I was stressing out about the giant order.)

There's something definitely different between a from-scratch and a cake-mix cake, though. I guess it comes from growing up and having every cake being a "box cake"
