if you have an urge to become completely confused, read the ingredients on a box of store bought cake mix. packed with additives, preservatives + artificial yuckiness... how can it even taste good? here is an easy {and i mean easy} way to whip up a batch of homemade cake mix. you can even double {or triple} the recipe, divide it evenly  + store it away. homemade cake with ingredients that you know {and can pronounce}... now that's a craft of the day!

when ready to bake:
