Market brought. I do not have good experience with baking cakes. Although I enjoy the process, the outcome is disappointing.

I like a mixture of both. One of the things I most enjoy cooking is cakes, but sometimes I like some more elaborate ones and those can not be made at home. I do not have the patience.

I prefer home-baked cake. I sometimes purchase from the store though because of convenience.

Homemade cakes all the way! They’re fluffier, denser, and more delicious! Especially now that my daughter is allergic to eggs, I always bake cakes from scratch. I use flax eggs as an egg replacement and I think my cakes have tasted even better!

I prefer homemade cakes but I usually by icing because I struggle to make it myself.

I am the same way. I like baking cakes but if I want a beautiful cake for an event, id usually buy one instead of spending the time decorating because I know a professional would do it better. The same goes for flavored cakes as I can make a basic yellow cake but not much beyond that. The exception to this to me is birthday cake because they are so much better when made with love

I love homemade cakes! I wish I could bake like my mom, but I do make a decent lemon cake or chocolate cake. I don't much care for the overly sweet cakes most stores near me carry. Most have buttercream frosting, and I just can't enjoy the taste.
