Any bakers?

[looch]

I am a terrible baker...i don't have the patience to measure and sift and mix and wait, and then the clean up. i can't take it.
So, i did try the cake mix route, and i have found the cake mix doctor's books. I am seriously addicted, and the folks at work get a cake a week as I work my way through the books!
Any one else out there that's made cakes this way?

I hadn't heard of that, but I do bake cakes. Most from cake mixes that are doctored. Funny choice of wording there, eh?

Love the Cake Doctor!! I love to bake and do it from scratch a lot, but can't go wrong with some of her stuff! Have you seen her other books? I have the CD, Chocolate CD, and Dinner Doctor - making meals out of canned/frozen stuff! I LOVE it!

Allrecipes.com has a whole section on cake mix cakes. I'm fond of the kahlua and the rum cakes.

I love to bake, too, but I never have time to make whole cake from scratch.
