I am known as the "brownie queen" around here. I cannot go to any party, picnic or gathering without bringing brownies. The thing is, they're made from a boxed mix but everyone says I make THE BEST brownies ever!!! I attribute it to the pan that I use (Pampered Chef all the way)
Anyhow, I also use boxed mixes for my cakes too. I think I've made a cake from scratch once, a long time ago and it never really came out right. It's been so long, but I don't remember if it was the texture or taste or something else but it was just gross. And for some reason I can never get a homemade frosting done right either, although I do love the taste of them.
Anyways, I found a recipe for a "made from scratch" cake on Pinterest and I would really love to try it but afraid it won't come out very good. Are there any tried & true tips/tricks to a homemade cake or frosting?
