Date: 2011-03-12 10:14 pm (UTC)2) the process of baking introduces air bubbles &c, which give it a nice yummy texture
3) you can keep cakes that're baked and have a slice at will
4) they look pretty if done right, even without any sort of icing, coating or whatever
5) Anyone can throw ingredients into a tub and mix them together to make goo. I reckon even you could do it. Baking is an art.
6) Freshly baked cakes smell nice
7) Because we do, OK?
8) having said all this, raw cookie dough kept in the fridge doesn't always all make it to the oven when I know it's there
9) Some flavour aquire a completely different effect during the baking process--orange and cinnamon comes to mind, goes from quite harsh to very very nice while in the oven.
10) it's easy to cary baked cakes around, share them out, etc without implements, cake mix being gooey is going to need something to hold it and a spoon
11) for bonus extra points. No one is ever impressed being given a spoonfull of goo. A decent cake can get you laid.

Date: 2011-03-12 10:42 pm (UTC)Not that I object to cake, but you'd think that people would eat cake mix as it's own thing sometimes. Due to it tasting of pure awesome.

I may have baked cookies last week on account of wanting some cookie dough and then realising that I'd be ill if I actually ate all of it raw.... Actually, that may be your explanation: really, the scrapings are about as much as you'd want to eat raw in one sitting, and if you didn't bake it then you would be compelled by the loveliness to keep eating, and then you'd throw up....

Date: 2011-03-12 10:54 pm (UTC)It just seems like cake mix would be one of those things that you'd see eaten as a thing in itself sometimes.

It's rare, but really nasty when it does happen.

Date: 2011-03-13 12:28 am (UTC)At least 60 people became ill, nearly half of them needed to be admitted to hospital.
So, rare, but serious when it happens.

Date: 2011-03-13 03:58 am (UTC)And while you can get pasteurized eggs in the US, making up for the fact that we don't have tons of immunized supply, that doesn't quite make up for the non-raw egg eating population around here.
Plus, cake mix is like a nasty flour milkshake.

Date: 2011-03-13 09:36 am (UTC)Still, the cake mix, even if made with the right bits, isn't what I'd call appetizing. If it's really good, it's still gruel soup with sugar bits in.
