I've had issues with box mixes for my white cakes - while they taste good I've had an issue. An example of the issue is that I leveled my cakes for 2 different events over a 24 hour period (weren't fridged until the end of the period) stuck them in a zippy and froze them. Was doing another cake the following week and wanted to try some cake balls. So I pulled the scraps out. Thawed them out went to open the bag and take a taste and it had the funny smell/taste I get if I don't fridge the cake right away. It doesn't matter the brand have tried the DH, BC and Pils and all do the same thing. So I am concerned if I every expand with this - right now just family and friends freebies. The decorating over a couple days could cause this to happen to a cake. I want to try and see if its the extra chemicals that causes this. Plus I just love to bake and would like to try some scratch cakes.
