Ye... I love Bella's face and I agree with her!<br /> Years ago, when my daughters were around 5 or 6 years old, my husband made a box mix cake. I was not there at the time but received reports on it later. My daughters had only ever seen a cake made from scratch. They stood around in disbelief, watching their dad. One said "That's not how mom does it!" Later the other daughter reported to me "Mom! Dad made a cake and didn't put any flour in it!"<br />Amy F.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-21802310476458001472013-05-08T22:49:32.897-05:002013-05-08T22:49:32.897-05:00Great face, Bella!

Once you get accustomed to from-scratch baking, packaged desserts have a fake and chemically taste to them.<br /><br />I think they changed the Cool Whip recipe as well. I bought some last year because I had an unusual craving for boxed chocolate pudding and Cool Whip (ala my childhood). The Cool Whip tasted like all chemicals. I was soooo disappointed.
